Solution

  1. Glass is made from natural and abundant raw materials (sand, soda ash, and limestone) that are melted at high temperatures to create a new material: Glass.
  2. The glass sheet is commonly used for windows, glass doors, transparent walls, and windscreens.
  3. A glass sheet is composed of numerous tiny particles.
  4. Glass sheet (matter) is not continuous, but is, in essence, particulate(minute separate particle).
  5. Glass is brittle, so it can break more easily, as it cannot be bent.
  6. So if a glass sheet falls accidentally, it breaks into very small pieces.
