19. Read some interesting facts about building materials:
1. Glass is transparent substance made from mineral row material and used in windows, shop windows, cars and greenhouses. It is also used to make beer glasses and works of art which are displayed at the arts exhibitions. Without glass we would not have optical instruments, chemical products, semiconductor devices.
2. Glass comes in different types. No one will take bottle glass for crystal, however it would take a specialist to tell quartz from borosilicate glass. But when it comes to varieties of semiconducting and metal glass only quite a narrow circle of specialists will be able to sort them out.
3. The atoms of molecules forming the crystals are arranged in a regular geometric pattern or according to remote order. If we choose some direction in this microarchitecture we shall see that the same atomic configuration will repeat. In just the same way any plane isolated in the crystal possesses a structure repeated any number of times in the planes parallel to it and arranged at equal distances. Nothing of the kind can be seen in glass. It is impossible to find in it any directions or planes in which atoms repeat with the same regularity.
4. Many glasses are known to form during a sharp cooling of melt. True, a metal glass can be made when the liquid, is cooled down of a rate of the order of a million degrees per second. A metal glass can also form when the crystal is subject to intense low temperature deformation. However, crystal turns into glass and vice versa when these substances are solid and when they are subject to pressure, slow increase or decrease in temperature, or, finally, radiations.
