#molecular disorder
- Amorphous — The feminine form of the adjective 'amorf'; lacking a definite crystalline order or a regular geometric shape. In materials science, it describes a solid substance whose constituent particles are arranged randomly, while in a figurative or characterial sense, it defines a person or an attitude devoid of dynamism, energy, willpower, or initiative.
- Amorphism — The state, property, or character of being amorphous; the total absence of an ordered crystalline structure or a regular geometric shape within a solid body. In mineralogy and crystallography, this phenomenon reflects long-range structural molecular disorder, causing isotropic properties that remain constant in all spatial directions.
- Amorphism — A structural state or property of certain solid bodies of lacking an internal crystalline organization and a regular external shape, their constituent atoms or molecules being randomly arranged. In a biological sense, the term indicates the absence of a clearly defined anatomical conformation or structure in certain lower organisms or parasitic cells.
