Why do amorphous solids not have a long range order in the arrangement of their particle

Explanation:

Amorphous solids are the substances in which atoms or molecules are arranged in a disorder manner. That is, molecules are randomly arranged to each other.

An amorphous solid have only small region where atoms are arranged in a definite order. This is known as short range order.

For example, rubber, glass, pitch etc are all amorphous solids.

Whereas a crystalline solid has atoms arranged in a definite or regular order.

This order is so regular that by knowing just any one site arrangement we can predict the arrangement of another site. This is known as long range order.

A crystalline solid possesses both long range and short range order. Whereas an amorphous solid possesses only short range order.

Hence, we can conclude that since there is only short range order present in an amorphous solid that is why amorphous solids not have a long range order in the arrangement of their particle.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
