Answer Breakdown

  1. Understanding the Terms:

    • Crystalline: Refers to solids where particles are arranged in a highly ordered structure, which extends in all directions.
    • Glass: Generally refers to an amorphous solid that typically exhibits a disordered arrangement of particles.
    • Shapeless: A descriptive term that does not specifically define a type of matter in scientific terms.
    • Amorphous: Refers to solids that lack a clearly defined structure, with particles arranged randomly.
  2. Identifying the Correct Option: Among the options provided, the definition that corresponds to a solid with particles randomly arranged is amorphous.

  3. Conclusion: Given that amorphous solids have no long-range order in their particle arrangement compared to crystalline solids, the best answer is:
