physical and chemical properties of glass and ceramics

Question

Accepted Answer

Glass and ceramics have unique physical and chemical properties that make them useful in various applications.

Glass is an amorphous solid with a random atomic structure, while ceramics are crystalline solids with a regular atomic structure.
Glass is transparent, brittle, and has a low thermal conductivity, while ceramics can be opaque or translucent, are hard and brittle, and have high thermal and chemical resistance.
Both glass and ceramics are non-conductive materials, making them suitable for electrical insulation.
Examples of glass include soda-lime glass used in windows and bottles, while examples of ceramics include porcelain used in tableware and alumina used in cutting tools.
