What is Glass? : 

What is Glass? Glass is a state of matter, not a substance. Glass combines some properties of crystals and some of liquids but is distinctly different from both. Glass has the mechanical rigidity of crystals, but the random disordered arrangement of molecules that characterizes liquids. Glass is usually formed by melting crystalline materials at very high temperatures.

What is the composition of glass? : 

What is the composition of glass? Silica (sand) Anhydrous Boric Acid Anhydrous Phosphoric Acid These include: Soda Ash Potash Lithium Carbonate Limestone Litharge Alumina Magnesia Barium Carbonate Strontium Carbonate Zinc Oxide Zirconia

Properties of Glass : 

Properties of Glass When created properly, glass can be: Strong Hard Elastic Chemical & Corrosion-Resistant Thermal Shock- resistant Heat-Absorbent Optical Properties Electrical Insulating
