Solution

Glass and Quartz:
Glass Quartz
1.Glass has a random molecular structure as an amorphous material. 1.Quartz has a symmetrical molecular structure
2. Could not withstand high temperature and pressure. 2. Could withstand high temperature and pressure,
3. Glass is used in electrical applications; it is an insulator. 3. It is a conductor.
4. Glass is made by melting highly pure natural, the concentration of 99.9%, and allowing the melt to cool in the desired shape and proportions. 4. Quartz is formed this way due to the combination of other crystals, such as citrine and amethyst.
5. It is found in different colors. 5. It is usually found in one or two colors.
