epäkiteisistä
Epäkiteiset, often translated as amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids, are substances that lack the long-range order characteristic of crystalline materials. In crystalline solids, atoms or molecules are arranged in a highly ordered, repeating three-dimensional pattern. In contrast, epäkiteiset materials exhibit a disordered structure where atoms or molecules are arranged randomly, similar to the structure of a liquid. However, unlike liquids, epäkiteiset materials are rigid and maintain a fixed shape at room temperature.
This lack of long-range order has significant implications for the physical properties of epäkiteiset materials. For
Common examples of epäkiteiset materials include glass, rubber, and many polymers. In glass, the silicon dioxide
