Is Glass A Highly Viscous Liquid at Charles Mcclelland blog

Is Glass A Highly Viscous Liquid. Glass, however, is actually neither a liquid—supercooled or otherwise—nor a solid. Glass is made by melting various components to get a very viscous liquid, like syrup, which doesn't flow. In terms of molecular dynamics and thermodynamics it is possible to justify various different views that it is a highly viscous liquid,. However, glass is unusual because it doesn't exist in this stable state. It is an amorphous solid—a state somewhere between those two states of matter. The movement of the glass molecules slows as temperature cools, but they never lock into crystal patterns. As the glass cools, the time it needs to demonstrate liquid behavior (the viscous relaxation time) increases and eventually reaches extremes. But although glass does not move on timescales as “short” as centuries, the true nature of glass, whether it is truly solid or a very viscous liquid is something we do not know.
