What is the difference between natural glass and synthetic glass?

Answer 1

• No it is a man made material.
• Glasses are typically brittle and can be optically transparent.
• The most familiar type of glass is soda-lime glass, which is composed of about 75% Silicon dioxide (SiO2), sodium oxide (Na2O) from soda ash, lime (CaO), and several minor additives. The term glass is often used to refer only to this specific use

Answer 2

Glass is a fairly common mineral - being a rock formed of silicon dioxide. so it's a natural product, but humans have managed to replicate it too

Answer 3

Glass is man-made from a natural resource.

Answer 4

Natural glass occurs in nature as silicon dioxide, while synthetic glass has been processed. Natural glass is very brittle so other materials are added to it to make it more resistant.

Answer 5

While there are some polymer substitutes for glass, what we normally refer to as glass is inorganic - primarily silicon dioxide (SiO2) - and does not polymerize.
