Glasses are solids. They're, specifically, amorphous solids. What makes them different from regular solids is that they're not regular, they're amorphous. Which is right there in the name.

Glass is an amorphous substance. Solids can be crystalline or amorphous, so it depends to which type of solid we are comparing glass with.


What makes a glass different from a solid such as quartz .under what conditions could quartz be converted into glass?

Glass is an amorphous solid, meaning its atoms are not arranged in a regular pattern like those of quartz. Quartz is a crystalline solid with a well-defined atomic structure. Quartz can be converted into glass by heating it above its melting point, then rapidly cooling it to prevent crystallization, essentially changing its atomic arrangement from an ordered to a disordered state.

Is a Light bulb a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture?

A light bulb contains a solid filament, usually made of tungsten, enclosed in a gas mixture, typically argon or nitrogen, and surrounded by a glass envelope. This makes a light bulb a heterogeneous mixture because it consists of different phases (solid, gas, and glass) that are not uniformly distributed.
