Quartz and glass both have a SiO4unit cell structure. Why is glass amorphous and quartz
crystalline?
Solution
Answer:
It is mainly because of the cooling temperatures
A silica melt needs to cool slowly to form quartz crystals. This generally happens at high
temperatures and pressures, such as those provided by a magmatic chamber(Quartz)
on the other hand, when the same melt is left to cool off at surface pressure and temperature
conditions, it cools out so fast it doesn't have time to develop a crystalline structure and remains
in an amorphous state (a glass).
The above is the main reason for their being different although have the same constitutional unit
Thanks :)
