Statement C, “Crystallinity develops on cooling of the molten mass of the glass,” is not true for glass.<\/section>\n
Glass is defined as an amorphous solid. The process of glass formation (vitrification) involves cooling a molten material rapidly enough to prevent the atoms or molecules from arranging themselves into a regular, repeating crystalline structure. If crystallization occurs during cooling, the material becomes a crystalline solid, not glass.<\/section>\n
Statement A is true: Sodium silicate solution (Na\u2082SiO\u2083) is widely known as water glass or liquid glass. Statement B is true: Glass is often described as a supercooled liquid because it lacks a long-range crystalline order, its structure resembles that of a liquid, although its viscosity is extremely high, giving it the mechanical properties of a solid. Statement D is true: Coloured glasses are made by adding small amounts of various metal oxides or other colouring agents to the glass composition before melting, which absorb or scatter specific wavelengths of light.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
