Which of these statements is NOT true about glasses?
Cooling a glass melt faster can lead to forming a glass with a higher fictive temperature.
Adding chemical modifiers with high atomic number to an SiO2 glass will usually increase the refractive index of the glass.
Adding chemical modifiers to SiO2 glass increases the amount of bonding in the glass network and usually raises the glass transition temperature.
If you change the chemical composition of a glass, you will likely change the glass transition temperature of that glass.
Glasses of the same composition but different fictive temperatures can have different thermal conductivities.
Compared to a completely amorphous polymer of the same composition, a semi-crystalline polymer is expected to:
(I) have greater optical transparency.
(II) show improved stability to higher operating temperatures.
(III) appear more uniformly colored after dying.
(IV) exhibit a higher elastic modulus.
(V) be a better vapor barrier when used in food packaging.

Glass A and B were likely quenched from the same temperature, but glass A is less dense than glass B.
Glass A was quenched from a lower temperature than glass B, leading to glass A being less dense than glass B.
Glass A and B were likely quenched from the same temperature, but glass A is more dense than glass B.
Glass A was quenched from a lower temperature than glass B, leading to glass A being more dense than glass B.
Glass A was quenched from a higher temperature than glass B, leading to glass A being less dense than glass B.
Glass A was quenched from a higher temperature than glass B, leading to glass A being more dense than glass B.
Adding a PbO modifier to SiO2 glass will result in a new glass that has...

...a higher refractive index and a lower glass transition temperature than pure SiO2 glass.
...a higher refractive index and a higher glass transition temperature than pure SiO2 glass.
the same properties as the pure SiO2 glass.
