Interpretation: The reason for most of the chemistry containers to be made up of glass needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
There are different branches of science related with plants, animals, environment as well as chemicals. The branch of science deals with chemicals is called chemistry. The use of glassware in chemical laboratory is safe but glass must be handled with extreme care.

Explanation of Solution
Chemistry is a branch related to chemicals and all the chemicals react with other materials like metal, non-metals as well as plastics. Few of them react slowly and the other reacts fast resulting large amount of production of heat. But glass is a supercooled liquid that does not react with most of the chemicals. That’s why most of the equipment for laboratories is made up of glass. Even these chemicals can be stored in glass containers except a few of them which react slowly with the glass surface.
