Chemistry: amorphous solids
Self-tutoring about chemistry: the tutor mentions the idea of amorphous solids.
Among solids, the amorphous ones might be thought of as the complement to crystals. Amorphous solids don’t have the repeating order that crystals do; rather, the local collection/arrangement of atoms can change as one moves throughout an amorphous solid. Rubber, plastic, gels, and glasses are examples of amorphous solids.
