The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion (A) - **Assertion (A)**: "Glass belongs to the category of covalent network solid." - **Explanation**: Glass is actually classified as an amorphous solid, not a covalent network solid. In covalent network solids, atoms are bonded in a continuous network, which gives them a definite structure. Glass does not have a long-range order and its particles are arranged randomly, which is characteristic of amorphous solids. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason (R) - **Reason (R)**: "Unit cell of glass is hexagonal." - **Explanation**: The term "unit cell" refers to the smallest repeating unit in a crystalline structure. Since glass is amorphous, it does not have a defined unit cell or a specific geometric arrangement like crystalline solids do. Therefore, it cannot be described as having a hexagonal unit cell. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Both the assertion and the reason are false. Glass is not a covalent network solid; it is an amorphous solid, and it does not have a defined unit cell structure. ### Final Answer - Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are false statements.

On fusion of a mixture of Na_2CO_3 and CaCO_3 with silica at 1500^@C , a liquid consisting of silicates of sodium and calcium is formed. On cooling . Liquid become viscous and eventually ceases to flow . It becomes solid and is known as glass. By varying the proportions of the three basic ingredients and by adding other substances, the properties of glass can be altered, Glass can be represented as R_2 O. MO.6SiO_2 , where R= Na or K, M = CaBa, Zn or PbSiO_2 may be replaced by Al_2 O_3 , B_2 O_3 or P_2 O_5 . Coloured glasses are obtained by adding certain metallic oxides or salts in the fused mass, Glass is attached by HF and this property is used to make marking on the glass , This is known as etching . The glass on rapid cooling becomes brittle and fragile . The articles of glass are cooled neither slowly nor very rapidly . The process of gradual cooling of glass is called annealing . Glass is .
