PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF GLASS ZACHARIASEN (1932), namely that the substance can form extended three-dimensional networks lacking periodicity, with an energy content comparable with that of the corresponding crystal network. A glass does not, therefore, produce a regular diffraction pattern with x-rays; but a monochromatic x-ray beam incident on a glass is scattered, and a radial distribution curve may be constructed. The space average of the distribution of atoms round a given one can be deduced (see J. T. RANDALL, 1938), Much work of this kind has been carried out by B. E. Warren and his colleagues. A soda-silica glass results from the fusion of Na30 with SiOa. The number of oxygens is more than twice the number of silicons, and some of the oxygens are bonded to only one silicon, A silicon bonded to one of these oxygens is at the centre of a tetrahedron which shares only three corners with other tetrahedra. With each singly bonded oxygen there is associated one negative charge. The sodium ions are found in the holes in the three-dimensional silicon-oxygen network. On the average, each sodium is surrounded by about six oxygens, and each silicon by four oxygens. In a soda-boric oxide glass of low soda content the extra oxygen is bonded between two borons, and there are no singly bonded oxygens. This can happen because in a boric oxide glass the co-ordination of boron by oxygen is triangular, and in the mixed glass some of the boron atoms become tetrahedrally coordinated by oxygen. When there is more than about 13-16 per cent of Na20 in the glass, the boron atoms cease to change their coordination, and some singly bonded oxygens exist (B. E. WARREN, 1942). Soda-silica glasses are not formed when the soda content exceeds that given by the formula Na2Si03. For this formula, if every silicon atom is surrounded tetrahedrally by four oxygen atoms, then on the average two oxygens round every silicon are singly bonded, and a continuous network is just possible. With still more oxygen it is not possible. In a soda-silica glass with much less soda, there are many Si04 tetrahedra sharing every corner, and a number sharing only three corners. The way in which these different tetrahedra are distributed is not yet quite clear. There may be small regions where all the tetrahedra share four corners, and such regions are composed of pure silica; they may alternate with regions of, for example, Na20 2Si02. The composition may vary through the glass when sufficiently small regions are considered. The general picture of a glass as a negatively charged irregular framework containing holes with positive ions in them enables a distinction to be made between the network-forming ions, which comprise the framework, and the network-modifying ions which go 8
GENERAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF GLASS n the holes. Silicon, boron and phosphorus are important networkbrming ions. Sodium and potassium are important networknodifying ions. Other ions can act in both capacities. This is probably true of aluminium, beryllium, zinc, iron and titanium. In a •ad-si lie a glass it seems that lead atoms can take part in the network ind link Si04 tetrahedra together. Cobalt ions in network-modifying positions tend on heating to move into the network, and this can MUM a colour change from pink to blue. Most commercial glasses are based on silicates or borosilicates. A typical hard borosilicate glass for chemical work may contain 80 per Wit Si02f 12 per cent B2Os and 4 per cent NaaO. A soft soda-limelllica glass (usually referred to as soda glass) may contain 70 per 3tnt St08,17 per cent NaaO and 5-4 per cent CaO. Lead glasses, used for lamp and valve stems, may contain 30 per cent PbO, 57 per cent WOt, 5 per cent NasO and 7 per cent K26. These glasses have high ritctrical resistance. Glasses with exceptionally high softening temperatures contain 20-25 per cent of A1203. Borate glasses, sub- Htntially free from silica (8 per cent Si02) are used for sodium Uncharge lamps. General accounts of the structure of glass have been given by J. E. ITANWORTH (1950), B. E. WARREN (1940) and C. J. PHILLIPS (1948). General Physical Properties of Glass [ht physical properties of a given specimen of glass may depend ipon the previous history of the specimen. This is particularly the for the mechanical strength under tension, when the surface preiMtment of the specimen is of decisive importance. The thermal nsion and viscosity of glass also depend to some extent on the iiy of the specimen. The importance of this factor has been phasized by A. E. DALE and J, E. STANWORTH (1945). R, W. LAS (1945) has given a valuable review of the physical proof glass. f 0Chanical Strength important property for the practical worker is the strength of |m under tension. The surface of glass very probably contains lUMrous extremely small cracks extending into the glass, and when tensile stress is applied there is a concentration of stress at the ends )f time cracks, which causes them to grow further into the glass, Bttil at some crack breakage occurs and is propagated through the •toiinen. Glass usually breaks in a direction at right angles to the ~"~n of maximum from 9
