How are Crystals Formed?
Crystals
are
solids found in nature that
have a
regular three-dimensional shape. They come in an almost endless variety of sizes and
shapes. All
crystals have an orderly shape due to the internal arrangement of the atoms, ions
or molecules
making up the solid.
Crystal formation
can be watched easily at
home. Add
sugar to water and let it dissolve. Now heat
the water solution and let the water evaporate.
Gradually, all the water evaporates
leaving the
crystals of
sugar behind.
