Which consequence results when rapid cooling of amorphous silica?

💡 Explanation

A rapid temperature change causes vitreous transition that traps disorder within, because molecular mobility ceases; therefore, silica solidifies as a glass, rather than allowing crystal formation and denser packed ordering.
