A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents, such as atoms, molecules or ions, are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions. crystal is a solid where the atoms form a periodic arrangement. (Quasicrystals are an exception, see below .). Not all solids are crystals. For example, when liquid water starts freezing, the phase change begins with small ice crystals that grow until they fuse, forming a polycrystalline structure.
The constituents of a solid can be arranged in two general ways: they can form a regular repeating three-dimensional structure called a crystal latticeA regular repeating three-dimensional structure. , thus producing a crystalline solidA solid with a regular repeating three-dimensional structure. , or they can aggregate with no particular order, in which case they form an amorphous solidA solid with no particular structural order.
