Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to the properties of glasses. Glasses generally have___________________?

Correct answer: B. Sharp melting points

  • A. High electrical insulation properties
  • B. Sharp melting points
  • C. Low co-efficient of thermal expansion
  • D. Compressive strength much greater than their tensile strengths

Explanation

Glass is amorphous, so it softens over a temperature range rather than having a sharp melting point. Its electrical insulation, low thermal expansion and greater compressive than tensile strength are typical properties.
