Properties:- 
1) Glass does not possess sharp boiling and melting point.
2) It is not a true solid,it is an amorphous solid.
3) Constituent particals are not arranged in a regular way.
4) It has short range order.(regular and predictable arrangement of the atoms over a short distance)
5) It is isotropic(Have physical properties same in different directions)
6) Cooling curve or glass is continuos.

Common formula of glass:- R₂O.MO.SiO₂
R is monovalent cation(Li, Na, K,...)
M is divalent cation (Mg, Can, Zn, Pb ...)
