What properties do both glass and plastic share?

Answer 1

The properties that glass and plastic share include being impermeable to water. Glass and plastic also share a high melting point.

Answer 2

it is made of sand that is heated up until it starts melting then they freeze it instantly and it becomes glass. i don't think it has any other properties The history of glassmaking can be traced back to 3500 BCE in Mesopotamia. Archaeological evidence suggests that the first true glass was made in coastal north Syria, Mesopotamia or Ancient Egypt.[1]The earliest known glass objects, of the mid third millennium BCE, were beads, perhaps initially created as accidental by-products of metal-working (slags) or during the production of faience, a pre-glass vitreous material made by a process similar to glazing.[2]Glass remained a luxury material, and the disasters that overtook Late Bronze Age civilizations seem to have brought glass-making to a halt.

Answer 3

There are many properties. I will give you three of them so that you can pick whichever you want.

1. Common characters in these materials include that both are transparent, homogenous and amorphous.

2. Glass and plastic share a high melting point. (there will be more heat required to melt plastic and glass from solid to liquid state).

3. Both are impermeable (doesn't let water pass through) to water.

Answer 4

Both glass and plastic are used in many industrial applications. One of the most useful properties they share is their non-reactivity to many chemicals.

Answer 5

what properties do both glass and plastic share that allow them to be substituted for each other in some applications? What do glass and plastic have that make them quite different

Answer 6

they are both see through or better known as transparent

Answer 7

flammable
