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.
A crystalline structure is any structure of ions, molecules, or atoms that are held together in an ordered, three-dimensional arrangement. Crystalline structure is one of two types of structural ordering of atoms, the other being the amorphous structure. The key difference in the crystalline and amorphous structure is the ordering of the structure. Crystalline structure can be thought of as the highest level of order that can exist in a material, while an amorphous structure is irregular and lacks the repeating pattern of a crystal lattice. Simply, the crystal structure can be thought of as a small box with atoms, molecules, or ions located in specific areas of the box.
