Question

Which of the following statements is true about glass?
  1. Arrangement of silicate units is similar to that of solid state.
  2. Arrangement of silicate units is similar to that of liquid state.
  3. It has low viscosity and hence is not a true solid.
  4. It has high viscosity with sharp melting point and hence is a solid.

A
