Glass is almost completely made of silica (silicon dioxide), the naturally occurring form of the element silicon. This is basically the same substance as quartz and common sand. Silica is the most abundant substance on Earth and is paradoxically a liquid.

Glass is an amorphous solid with a random arrangement of atoms, making it a poor conductor of heat and electricity. It is chemically inert, meaning it is resistant to most chemicals and does not easily react with them. Glass is composed primarily of silica (silicon dioxide), with additional components added to modify its properties, such as sodium carbonate or calcium oxide.
