Which one of the following substances does not have a melting point

  • A.Bromine
  • B.Sodium chloride
  • C.Mercury
  • D.Glass

Answer: D

Glass has no melting point.

It is an amorphous solid - a supercooled liquid - with no long-range order and therefore no fixed temperature at which the lattice collapses. It simply softens gradually over a range. Crystalline solids such as sodium chloride, and the elements bromine and mercury, all have sharp melting points.
