Abstract
THE properties of liquids and glasses may, for many purposes, be classed together. Both lack the extensive regularly repeating groups of atoms that characterize crystalline arrays. X-ray diffraction patterns of both, instead of showing the sharp rings or spots associated with crystal structures, show diffuse bands indicating that the type of order existing in them is limited to a short range.
