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 the amorphous one.
As a crystalline solid is heated, it undergoes a well-defined melting point where its ordered structure breaks down to a disordered liquid state. In contrast, an amorphous solid softens gradually upon heating without a distinct melting point, as its structure lacks long-range order. The amorphous solid may eventually become a viscous liquid upon further heating.
Glass is an example of a solid that is amorphous (lacks a regular crystalline structure) and brittle (easily breaks or shatters when subjected to stress).
No. Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid material

No, glass is not technically a liquid. It is an amorphous solid, which means it has a disordered atomic structure similar to a liquid but is still considered a solid.
Yes, glass is an amorphous solid.
Yes, glass is an amorphous solid.
Glass is not considered viscous at room temperature. It is a solid material that does not flow or deform over time like a viscous liquid would.
Glass is a solid, not a liquid. Despite its appearance, glass is actually an amorphous solid, meaning its molecules are arranged in a disordered fashion, similar to a liquid, but they are still fixed in place like a solid. This is why glass does not flow or change shape over time like a liquid would.
Glass is a amorphous solid because they have large particles but randomly arranged
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.
No. Glass is an amorphous solid.
