The definition of glass is a super cooled liquid. Any liquid that is super cooled takes on the properties of glass. Glass as you think of it is just super cooled silica. What happens is that it is cooled so quickly that it doesn't actually undergo a phase change back to a solid. In reality glass is just an incredibly slow moving liquid.

Glass is a super cooled liquid .
Create an object that is both liquid and solid?
Glass is considered a super cooled liquid.
Are rubber and glass when heated examples of crystalline solids?
Glass as a solid is acturally a 'super-cooled liquid'. If left for many years the glass will appear to go cloudy, light does not trasnmit . This is the glass forming a crystalline solid. Glass is classified as a super-cooled liquid becasue it is a liquid below its melting point, but has not formed crystals, to become solid. NB Under certain weather conditions, water can become super-cooled. That is it is below its freezing point but still remains a liquid.
Why is glass called a super cooled material?
It is not a correct name; glass is an amorphous solid.
Why is glass considered as a super cooled liquid?
Bcoz they are pseudo solids nd dats why have the tendency to flow.

Why does glass eventually get thicker toward the bottom?
Glass is in the category which is considered a super cooled liquid. There is no crystaline structure to maintain it's shape.
Can current passes from glass?
no , current cannot pass via glass. glass is considered to be a super cooled liquid , so it does not have any properties of metals for conducting electricity.
How do you turn nitrogen from a gas to a liquid?
in general you need to two things: But Liquid Nitrogen is not made this way. 1st it needs to be cooled very cold. Then it needs to be compressed. The proccess usually does this both at the same time, Cooled Nitrogen is run through a compressor and then cooled agian, and then super cooled to create Liquid. It is produced using a proccess called fractional distilation of air resulting in Liquid Oxegen and Liquid Nitrogen.
Is there a word for the meaning a liquid below freezing point without solidification?
super-cooled liquid
What are super-cooled liquids?
I know it sounds a little stupid, but supercooling is when water remains a liquid while it is below freezing point. Note, only some waters can do this.
Temperature at which glass changes from solid to liquid?
Glass is not a true solid. It has no crystalline structure. It has no set melting point, as it is what is known as a "super cooled liquid". The hotter it gets, the faster it flows. I've read that cathedrals with stained glass that is centuries old, find that the glass is each segment is thicker at the bottom. In other words, the glass has flowed downwards over the centuries.
