WHAT IS A CRYSTAL ?
A crystal is any solid material with its atoms, or smallest units of matter, organized in a repeating pattern. Look at this diagram to see an example of how atoms are arranged in a crystal.
Stunning earrings and diamond rings accent guests at a wedding. On the table, crystal glasses shine as they are filled with champagne. When you think of crystals, all of these beautiful decorations most likely come to mind. But, there is so much more to crystals! Crystals are used for solar-powered devices, transformers that transmit electricity, solving important biological puzzles in medicine, creating monitors for computers and television, and serving as tasty snacks!
Types of Crystals
There are many types of crystals :-
COVALENT CRYSTALS
IONIC CRYSTALS
MATELLIC CRYSTALS
MOLECULAR CRYSTALS
etc...
Just read about COVALENT CRYSTALS
Covalent crystals are crystals whose atoms are connected with covalent bonds. Covalent bonds exist where the atoms share electrons. These bonds are extremely strong and very hard to break. Because of this, the crystals themselves are also very strong and have high melting points. Imagine gluing together beads with super glue. The super glue is the covalent bond. Now think of trying to glue beads together with a glue stick. They probably wouldn't hold together very well. The glue stick is analogous to another type of crystal we will talk about later. An example of a covalent crystal is a diamond, which is one of the hardest substances known to man.
