Question
What makes a glass different from a solid such as quartz? Under what conditions could quartz be converted into glass?
✓

Answer

The arrangement of the constituent particles makes glass different from quartz. In glass, the constituent particles have short-range order, but in quartz, the constituent particles have both long range and short range orders. Quartz can be converted into glass by heating and then cooling it rapidly.
