The correct Answer is:
To determine which features are not shown by quartz glass, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Nature of Quartz Glass**: - Quartz glass is an amorphous solid, meaning its particles are not arranged in a regular pattern. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option A: "This is a crystalline solid."** - This statement is incorrect. Quartz glass is not crystalline; it is amorphous. Therefore, this feature is not shown by quartz glass. - **Option B: "Refractive index is same in all directions."** - This statement is true. Amorphous solids like quartz glass exhibit isotropic properties, meaning their physical properties, including refractive index, are the same in all directions. - **Option C: "This has a definite heat of fusion."** - This statement is false. Amorphous solids do not have a definite heat of fusion because they do not have a fixed melting point. Thus, this feature is also not shown by quartz glass. - **Option D: "This is also called supercooled liquid."** - This statement is true. Quartz glass is often referred to as a supercooled liquid because it can flow very slowly over time, similar to a liquid. 3. **Conclusion**: - The features that are not shown by quartz glass are: - **Option A: "This is a crystalline solid."** - **Option C: "This has a definite heat of fusion."** Thus, the answer is **A and C**.
