There is no clear answer to the question "Is glass solid or liquid?". In terms of molecular dynamics and thermodynamics it is possible to justify various different views that it is a highly viscous liquid, an amorphous solid, or simply that glass is another state of matter that is neither liquid nor solid. The difference is semantic. In terms of its material properties we can do little better. There is no clear definition of the distinction between solids and highly viscous liquids. All such phases or states of matter are idealisations of real material properties. Nevertheless, from a more common sense point of view, glass should be considered a solid since it is rigid according to everyday experience. The use of the term "supercooled liquid" to describe glass still persists, but is considered by many to be an unfortunate misnomer that should be avoided. In any case, claims that glass panes in old windows have deformed due to glass flow have never been substantiated. Examples of Roman glassware and calculations based on measurements of glass visco-properties indicate that these claims cannot be true. The observed features are more easily explained as a result of the imperfect methods used to make glass window panes before the float glass process was invented.
At room temperature, honey is a highly viscous liquid. Viscosity is a liquids resistance to flow. I think gelatin is also a liquid but it is even more viscous. Glass is probably the most viscous liquid I know of. It takes many years for glass to flow even a little bit. If you ever visit buildings that are hundreds or thousands of years old, you might notice the glass in the windouws is thicker at the bottom than the top.
Glass is brittle and amorphous.
glass is the amorphous one.
Glass is an amorphous or transparent solid. Glass is also called supercooled liquid. Types of glasses are : soft glass, hard glass, crook's glass, jena glass, glass laminates
No. Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid material

Yes, glass is an amorphous solid.
Yes, glass is an amorphous solid.
it is an amorphous solid
I think that answer to his is the when any liquid freezes, it turns into amorphous solid
Glass is a amorphous solid because they have large particles but randomly arranged
Glass is brittle and amorphous.
No. This is a myth that was published in a chemistry text and this has been perpetrated. But it is a fallacy. Glass is a brittle amorphous solid.
Glass is an amorphous substance. Solids can be crystalline or amorphous, so it depends to which type of solid we are comparing glass with.
