Some people believe that glass is really a liquid at room
temperature because of its molecular properties. Liquids have a definite
volume, but they take the shape of their container. A solid has a fixed shape
as well as fixed volume.
For glass to be a liquid it would need to be able
to change its shape or flow. Glass is actually neither a liquid nor a solid. The
definition of glass is "an amorphous solid," which means a solid with
no crystal structure, where the atoms and molecules are arranged more or less
at random. Molten glass cools down so quickly from a liquid state that its
molecules don't have time to arrange themselves into any ordered structure.
