These are considered inorganic polymers. One of the most famous silicon-based polymers is Silly Putty TM . How spaghetti noodles look on a plate is similar to how polymers can be arranged if they are amorphous Think of how spaghetti noodles look on a plate. This is similar to how polymers can be arranged if they are amorphous. An amorphous arrangement of molecules has no long-range order or form in which the polymer chains arrange themselves.
Amorphous polymers are generally transparent.
This is an important characteristic for many applications such as food wrap, Plexiglas TM , headlights, and contact lenses. Controlling and quenching the polymerization process can result in amorphous organization. Obviously, not all polymers are transparent. The polymer chains in objects that are translucent and opaque are in a more crystalline arrangement. By definition a crystalline arrangement has atoms, ions, or in this case, molecules in a distinct pattern.
