No. Glass is derived from silicon dioxide, silica, which is reacted at high temperatures with oxides to form a silica/silicate mix, essentially an anionic covalent lattice with metal cations inside it.
Soda/Lime glass is made from silica sand and uses sodium carbonate and lime as a flux. Historically, the sodium carbonate component was made by burning barilla (a coastal shrub).
Potash glass is made from silica sand and uses potash as a flux. The potash was made by burning wood.
In both cases, the result was a fine, alkaline powder. Flux is used to lower the melting temperature of silica sand. Silica sand alone has a melting temperature of about 1600 C and adding a flux can lower that to 800 C or less, in some cases.
So you could say that some glass was made by adding chemicals derived from plants, but not that glass is made from a plant. Glass is made from silica sand.
Yes, but it sometimes can be found in a natural state at volcanoes. Then it is known as obsidian. Regular glass, like the windows in your home, is made by melting silica sand.
its actually almost made out of rock but pretty much only sand
im only 6 anyway ;)
Of course it is! All matter, as we understand it, is made of atoms ... and glass is matter.
Glass is made by melting silica sand. Silica sand is broken down rock, similar to quartz. So in a way, yes, glass is made from ONE type of rock.
Yup!
Diamonds are formed from carbon, as you state; glass is formed from silica. The two are not related, except that some glass and some diamonds appear similarly.
Most foam glass is made by grinding glass from a glass melt into small particles and then mixing it with a carbon containing material and then reheating it up above the melting point of the glass in a box mold. The carbon material reacts with the glass to make carbon dioxide to make the foam. The glass used is mostly recycled glass, but the double heating and the grinding process makes the product expensive, but the product has as very long life compared to organic producs and more durability...
Yes, conventional pencil, pen, and chalkboard erasers all contain carbon as they are made of organic materials. However at one time there was a typewriter eraser made of a bundle of fiberglass inside a pen like housing, being made of glass (an inorganic material) they contained no carbon. These erasers however generated thousands of tiny airborne particles of glass when they were used, these glass particles could be inhaled causing health hazards and produced intense itching on contact with the skin. For these reasons they are no longer manufactured.
fibre glass is made out of poo!

they're not they can also be made out of fibber glass and also experimenting with carbon fibber.

A composite bat is made from carbon fiber, glass, and kevlar embedded in a plastic resin.
Usually they are made of fiber glass, but they can be made of other materials (wood, steel, carbon fiber, etc) as well.
Because the glass in magnifying glass and it helps people to see.

This type of molecule is called macromolecule.
No. But it can be made into a composite by adding glass, carbon, or kevlar fibers, among other things.
Boat hulls are currently usually made of fiber glass. Fiber glass is the cheapest, most effective material. Boat hulls can also be made of wood, carbon fiber, and steel.
