Why glass is called a super cooled liquid?

The definition of glass is a super cooled liquid. Any liquid that is super cooled takes on the properties of glass. Glass as you think of it is just super cooled silica. What happens is that it is cooled so quickly that it doesn't actually undergo a phase change back to a solid. In reality glass is just an incredibly slow moving liquid.

Are rubber and glass when heated examples of crystalline solids?

Glass as a solid is acturally a 'super-cooled liquid'. If left for many years the glass will appear to go cloudy, light does not trasnmit . This is the glass forming a crystalline solid. Glass is classified as a super-cooled liquid becasue it is a liquid below its melting point, but has not formed crystals, to become solid. NB Under certain weather conditions, water can become super-cooled. That is it is below its freezing point but still remains a liquid.


Why does glass eventually get thicker toward the bottom?

Glass is in the category which is considered a super cooled liquid. There is no crystaline structure to maintain it's shape.


Can current passes from glass?

no , current cannot pass via glass. glass is considered to be a super cooled liquid , so it does not have any properties of metals for conducting electricity.


Why is glass considered as a super cooled liquid?

Bcoz they are pseudo solids nd dats why have the tendency to flow.

Why super conductor is not used?

b'coz super conductivity is achieved only when the material is cooled below a critical temperature. if it cooled above the critical temp. than the material ceases to be a super conductor. to maintain it conductivity helium and liquid nitrogen which is not easy 2 be used that is why super conductor can't be used for commercial purposes in our day to day life


Does glass heated in a hot flame glow and becomes fluid?

Yes, it will. The glass was fluid even while cold, though. It is a super-cooled fluid and will flow (imperceptibly slowly) at room temperature.


Why are super cooled metals good conductors?

Super cooled metals are good conductors because their super cooled properties allow them to conduct electric currents without resistance. This means no loss of energy.
