\"Estado<\/a><\/p>\n

Glass is one of the most common materials and therefore we have contact with it daily in glasses, glasses, glasses, etc. But what is the physical state of the glass? This recurring doubt is due to the fact that glass is neither solid nor liquid, but a middle ground. When the atoms that make up a material are not together enough to form a rigid crystalline structure, it cannot be said that it is a solid material.<\/p>\n

After all, what is the physical state of the glass?<\/h2>\n

Glass is a material that with the naked eye and the human touch it can be affirmed that its state is solid, but for a material to be considered as solid it must have a defined crystalline structure, that corresponds to a positioning of the atoms that compose it . Many studies prove that like plastic, glass is considered an amorphous solid, which is like a ”solid liquid medium”, that is, a middle ground that is between these two states.<\/p>\n

Amorphous solid<\/h3>\n

It may be that until now you have only heard of three physical states: the solid, the liquid, and the gaseous. But the truth is that there are other physical states and one of them is the amorphous. The amorphous substance is a solid without form, since it needs a periodic three-dimensional organization of its atoms or molecules. It is the designation given to the structure that does not have long-distance spatial ordering (in atomic terms), such as regular solids. It is generally accepted as the opposite of crystalline structure. Amorphous substances do not have defined atomic structure.<\/p>\n

Making comparisons<\/h2>\n

Cotton candy is an example of amorphous material, since at first glance it appears to be solid, but by placing it in the mouth, one perceives the soft structure and the sweet melts in the mouth, degrading the supposedly rigid structure. Like cotton candy, glass appears to be solid, but when subjected to a situation where it breaks, for example, it is shattered into several pieces.
\nOther examples of amorphous substances are paraffin, plastic and various polymers.
