Crystal facts
- In addition, macroscopic single crystals are usually identifiable by their geometrical shape, consisting of flat faces with specific, characteristic orientations
- The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is known as crystallography
- The process of crystal formation via mechanisms of crystal growth is called crystallization or solidification
- The word crystal derives from the Ancient Greek word κρύσταλλος (krustallos), meaning both "ice" and "rock crystal", from κρύος (kruos), "icy cold, frost"
- Examples of large crystals include snowflakes, diamonds, and table salt
- Most inorganic solids are not crystals but polycrystals, i
- e
- many microscopic crystals fused together into a single solid
- Examples of polycrystals include most metals, rocks, ceramics, and ice
- A third category of solids is amorphous solids, where the atoms have no periodic structure whatsoever
