CRYSTAL
The word crystal derives from the Ancient Greek word (krustallos), meaning both "ice" and "rock crystal",from (kruos), "icy cold, frost".
CRYSTAL
A crystal is a solid material composed of atoms arranged in a highly ordered, repeating, three-dimensional pattern. This ordered structure gives crystals their characteristic flat surfaces and sharp corners. Crystals can be found naturally, like in minerals and gemstones, or they can be artificially grown. Here's a more detailed explanation:
1. ATOMIC STRUCTURE:
• Crystals are built from atoms that are arranged in a specific, repeating pattern, forming a three-dimensional lattice.
• This ordered arrangement distinguishes them from amorphous solids like glass, where the atoms are not arranged in a regular pattern, according to Britannica.
2. CRYSTAL SYSTEMS:
MACROSCOPIC (~16 CM) HALITE CRYSTAL. THE RIGHT-ANGLES BETWEEN CRYSTAL FACES ARE DUE TO THE CUBIC SYMMETRY OF THE ATOMS' ARRANGEMENT. HTTPS://EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG/WIKI/CRYSTAL
• Crystals are categorized into different crystal systems based on the symmetry of their unit cells (the basic repeating unit).
• Examples include isometric (cubic), tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, triclinic, hexagonal, and trigonal systems.
3. NATURAL VS. ARTIFICIAL CRYSTALS:
• Natural Crystals: Formed through geological processes, such as cooling magma (igneous rocks) or through metamorphism (metamorphic rocks).
• Artificial Crystals: Grown in laboratories or factories, often for specific technological applications (e.g., semiconductors).
4. EXAMPLES OF CRYSTALS:
• Minerals: Quartz, diamond, garnet, salt, sugar, and many other minerals are crystalline.
• Gems: Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires are examples of crystalline gemstones.
• Metals: Many metals, like gold, silver, and copper, are crystalline.
5. CRYSTAL HABIT:
• The external shape of a crystal is known as its habit. It reflects the internal atomic arrangement.
• Habit can vary depending on growth conditions and can be described as euhedral (well-formed), subhedral (partially formed), or anhedral (lacking defined faces).
6. SIGNIFICANCE:
• Crystals have a wide range of applications, from jewelry and decorative items to electronics and scientific research.
• Their unique properties, like their ability to diffract light and conduct electricity, make them valuable in various technologies.
