Which one of them is known as super cooled liquids?
Correct answer: A. Glass
- A. Glass
- B. Diamond
- C. Silica
- D. Carbon
Explanation
Amorphous solids have the tendency to flow slowly. It does not form a crystalline solid structure as particles in solids do not move but here it moves. Hence it is called a supercooled liquid.Glass is amorphous solid

About Crystalline and Amorphous Solids
Crystalline solids have a regular, repeating lattice and a sharp melting point, while amorphous solids lack long-range order and soften over a temperature range. The topic covers unit cells, anisotropy, cleavage, symmetry and examples such as salts, metals, glass and plastics. Crystalline order must not be confused with mere hardness.
