1. The constituent particles in amorphous solids are arranged randomly. 

2. They have short range ordered structure. 

3. Amorphous solids are called supercooled liquids having very high viscosity. 

4. They do not have sharp melting points and they melt gradually over a temperature interval.

5. Amorphous substances appear like solids but they do not have perfectly ordered crystalline structure, hence they are not real solids. Therefore they are pseudo solids. 

6. They are isotropic and exhibit the same magnitude of any property in every direction.
