The solid breaks at random places. Apex. thanks guy below for leading me to this answer
an amorphous solid
Glass is an example of a solid that is amorphous (lacks a regular crystalline structure) and brittle (easily breaks or shatters when subjected to stress).
As a crystalline solid is heated, it undergoes a well-defined melting point where its ordered structure breaks down to a disordered liquid state. In contrast, an amorphous solid softens gradually upon heating without a distinct melting point, as its structure lacks long-range order. The amorphous solid may eventually become a viscous liquid upon further heating.

If you break a solid, the atoms will seperate from eachother

Yes, glass is an amorphous solid.
amorphous
The main characteristic that distinguishes a crystalline solid from an amorphous solid is the arrangement of particles. Crystalline solids have a well-defined, repeated geometric pattern in the arrangement of their particles, giving them a regular and uniform structure. In contrast, amorphous solids lack this long-range order and have a more disordered arrangement of particles.
Which of the following accurately describes an amorphous solid being heated? (1 point)(0 pts) The temperature holds steady as it melts.(0 pts) The attractive forces are broken.(1 pt) The temperature keeps rising as it melts.(0 pts) all of the above
