What is a crystalline solid?
Crystalline solid is the type of matter that has its atoms, ions or molecules arranged in a regular three -dimensional recurring pattern called Grown. Having arranged component units in this way gives a crystalline fixed fixed physical characteristics that may vary according to the pattern. All crystals fall into one of the seven possible basic shapes. Some of these shapes have more than one possible pattern of the grid, of which a total of 14.
Units of crystalline solid grids, whether atoms, ions or molecules, are connected to each other and give a solid structure a strong structure. This regular framework makes crystals particularly resistant to compression. Of course, they can be broken or crushed with sufficient force, but it is very difficult to compress. Some types of bonds are stronger than others, but all crystals show this feature to some extent. The crystal grilles consist of units called cells, the smallest repeating units of the lattice.
regular fThe Ramework grid provides some types of crystals of enormous power. Diamond, known as the most difficult natural substance, owes its hardness to the way of carbon atoms that form its structure, fit into their crystal grid. Other common crystalline solids are sugar, rock salt and some grains of sand like quartz. Crystalline solids occur in nature in the form of many types of rare gems and minerals and even some organic materials.
crystals fall into seven basic shapes. These shapes rarely occur in nature in perfect geometric form, but the crystals of specific substances will always form into its characteristic shape or composites more than one. Three of the basic crystal shapes are regular, cubic or rectangular rectangular solids. The fourth form is a hexagonal solid and the other three are rectangular solids with nby the edges that encountered at the angles of ninety degrees. Some substances can form composite crystal shapes, but all are a combination of seven basic crystal shapes.
As part of the basic crystal shapes, 14 different grilles are possible. Atoms, ions or molecules of atoms, ions or molecules atoms, ions or molecules are arranged in the crystal, the type of crystal affects the shape of the crystal. These grids also help to determine the physical properties of the crystal, such as how the crystal breaks, if hit, the way it bends or bends, the light that passes through it, and its melting point.
