Cause it fills the container/space that its in-eventually. if you look at really old glass you will see that its thicker at the bottom than the top, and it will have little sort of ripples in it. but i mean seriously it takes forever.

Why does liquid glass have more thermal energy than the solid glass bowl?

When a material changes from a solid to a liquid, its particles have higher kinetic energy, leading to a higher thermal energy. In the case of glass transitioning from a solid bowl to a liquid state, the particles in the liquid glass have more freedom to move and vibrate, increasing their thermal energy compared to the solid state.


Why is a glass that filled with liquid less stable than an empty glass?

A glass filled with liquid has a higher center of gravity than an empty glass, making it more top-heavy and prone to tipping over. The liquid inside can also shift and slosh around, further destabilizing the glass.


What phase of matter is glass in?

If you include only the three "classical" phases of matter, it's considered a liquid. However, it's now agreed that there are many more phases (10+), and glass is it's own state of matter.


Is glass an amorphous solid or a viscous liquid?

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.

Is glass technically a liquid?

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.

Why is glass considered a liquid?

Glass is often mistakenly thought of as a liquid because its molecules are arranged in a disordered manner, similar to a liquid, rather than in a regular crystalline structure like a solid. This gives glass its unique properties, such as the ability to flow slowly over time. However, glass is actually an amorphous solid, not a liquid.

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 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.


Does the glass tube in a fire sprinkler expand more or less than the liquid inside the tube How do you know?

Loads more The liquid expands more than the glass envelope. You know this because the mechanism is designed to open the water valve to the sprinkler head when the glass envelope shatters when the liquid ruptures it as it heats up.


How is glass a liquid?

Glass is not a liquid. It is in fact a solid.


Why is glass considered as a super cooled liquid?

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