I can tell you sands and glasses are in amorphous structure.. But not sure if network solids are crystal. Ionic solids are crystal lattice for sure

Network solids have a crystal lattice structure. I always think of diamond and how strong and perfectly layered the atoms are. Amorphous solids have no shape and the atoms are randomly surrounding each other.
