Amorphous solid: a noncrystalline solid that has atoms and molecules which are not organized in a definite lattice pattern. Examples of amorphous solids include glass, plastic, and gel.
Glass: is a solid made of silicon dioxide, or silica, which is most commonly found in the form of quartz. silicon dioxide link
Soda lime glass is made up of 70% silicon dioxide, 15% sodium dioxide, 9% lime, also known as calcium dioxide. Soda lime glass is the most commonly used glass, has a low melting point, chemically stable, and can be resoftened multiple times. Soda-lime glass link
Along with silicon dioxide, lead crystal glass is also composed of lead oxide , sodium or potassium, and calcium. Lead crystal glass has a very high density, is brilliant, and easy to cut, shape, and melt,. Lead crystal glass
Borosilicate glass is made up of silica and boron trioxide. Borosilicate glass is known for having low coefficients for thermal expansion, meaning it is more resistant to thermal shock than most other common types of borosiicate glass link

Polymer: substances made up of monomers called macromolecules, which are very large molecules. Polymers make up proteins, diamond, rubbers, concrete, and graphite. Polymer link
Rubber is a polymer that is made up of isoprene, a carbon compound composed of two carbon-carbon double bonds. Rubber can be found in many everyday things, however rubber is most commonly used in tires. Along with tires, rubber is also found in hoses, belts, medical gloves, and many more important things that people use constantly. rubber link
The monomers in proteins are amino acids, which are formed by polypeptides. Proteins are extremely important for living things such as humans because they build and repair tissues and make enzymes to help digest and speed up vital chemical processes in the body.
