What is the difference between Quartz and glassy silica?
Quartz and glassy silica are both composed of the same elements in the same proportion. The difference is that in quartz is crystalline whereas glass is amorphous. This means that in quartz, the atoms are all ligned up in a regular repeating lattice. In glass, the atoms are arranged in a random way. This is analagous to the difference between a set of childrens blocks that have been stacked up nicely in regular rows, and blocks that are just dumped in a heap, and are arranged randomly.
