Noncrystalline materials exist in many different forms. A huge variety of atomic and molecular structures, ranging from liquids to simple monatomic amorphous structures to network glasses to dense long-chain polymers, are often complex and difficult to describe. Diffusion in such materials occurs by a correspondingly wide variety of mechanisms, and is, in general, considerably more difficult to analyze quantitatively than is diffusion in crystals. 

Selenium boils at about 680°, forming a dark red vapor which may be condensed either as scarlet flowers of selenium or shining drops of molten substance. Vapor density measurements indicate the presence of associated molecules at lower temperatures, but at 900-950° the density indicates a molecular structure Se2 which is retained up to 1800°. Its molecules become monatomic at 2000°. Freezing point determinations indicate a molecule which is approximately Ses.1 On the basis of a diatomic vapor the latent heat of vaporization is 135.5 calories per gram, the heat of sublimation is 219.4 calories, and the heat of fusion 83.9 calories.2... 

Theoretical studies, on the other hand, have predicted a variety of non-molecular structures at pressures for which only molecular phases have been observed. These include a monatomic simple-cubic phase [206-208], a semi-metallic arsenic structure A7 [206], a metallic, simple-tetragonal phase [206, 209], and the cubic gauche (CG) structure [205,207,210-213], for which recent experimental evidence has been given [203]. Results from theoretical calculations also predict other polymeric forms of nitrogen, as will be described hereafter.

For ionic as for molecular solutes (Section III.3), some studies have applied the discrete molecular model to the solvent in the immediate environment of the solute, and treated the remainder as a continuum. This can in principle help to deal with the problem of inner-shell structure as well as that of long-range effects. Thus Straatsma and Berendsen used the Bom equation to correct simulation-obtained free energies of hydration for six monatomic ions.174 This helped in some instances but not in others. 

The theories of surface structure and bonding have been reviewed. It should be clear to the reader that surface structural chemistry is indeed a frontier area for both theorists and experimental researchers. From an experimentalists viewpoint the data base of atomic and molecular surface structures is very small at present. Most investigations have been carried out on flat, low Miller index surfaces of monatomic solids, either clean or with atomic or small molecules as adsorbates. 

Integral equation ideas on the structure of monatomic liquids were first modified and applied to molecular liquids by Chandler and Andersen, Their classic work is now referred to as the reference interaction site model (RISM) of molecular liquids. Polymer RISM (PRISM) is essentially an extension of RISM theory that successfully describes the structure of flexible polymer chains in the liquid state.
