Question

How is quartz different from quartz glass

Open in App
Solution

The difference between quartz and quartz glass lies in their molecular arrangement. Quartz molecules, like those in all crystals, are arranged in a well-organized, regular lattice. Glass, on the other hand, is an amorphous solid. Its molecules are held in place rigidly, but their arrangement is disordered.
