The term amorphous solids is in some books synonymously termed glass. Amorphous solids are substances which lack a crystalline structure. They are solids which can flow like liquids. Their molecules are not arranged in any definite lattice pattern and this gives them some unique properties that enable them to be used to make bottles.
1. In response to mechanical force, amorphous solids are not willing to break into smaller lattices like crystalline solids, therefore they are more shatter resistant.
2. They are more sturdy
3. They soften more easily than crystalline solids and therefore more readily manipulated.
4. They do not have a distinct melting point and so they are more easily recycled.
