Glass (Materials Science)

Glass is a special type of

• polymer

• metal

• ceramic

• composite

Which of these is not capable of making glass?

• An ocean sponge

• A volcano

• A meteorite

• A blizzard

Which is not a common ingredient in glass?

• Silica

• Calcium oxide

• Sodium oxide

• Carbon dioxide

This type of glass has no modifier.

• fused silica

• leaded crystal

• soda lime

• borosilicate

This type of glass is made by bathing a sheet of glass in a chemical bath, which replaces small ions with large ones and adds strength to the structure

• toughened glass

• sandwiched glass

• tempered glass

• plate glass

An example of smart glass is

• fiber optic strands that can transmit information

• tempered glass that people can stand on

• photochromic glass that changes opacity as light changes

• soda lime glass that can be recycled
