Question
Assertion : Glassy solids have sharp melting point.
Reason : The bonds between the atoms of glassy solids get broken at the same temperature.

Answer

(d) In a glassy solid (i.e., amorphous solid) the various bonds between the atoms or ions or molecules of a solid are not equally strong. Different bonds are broken at different temperatures. Hence there is no sharp melting point for a glassy solid.
