Cystalline Solids

Why do cystalline soids have such different shapes?

the reason why they have different shapes is because their molecular shape changes when it bonds with different materials. The streangth also plays a big role in the shape of the solid. The polarity changes the shape also.

Crystalline solids have many different shapes. They do not have alined atoms. The atoms are arranged in an irregular pattern.

Reeber said...

This is because they are formed into different orders. An example of these is a sugar, suger candy, or rock candy. Small crystal powder has invisible grain structures.

The bonds with different materials changes the molecular shapes. How strong it is also changes it. Polarity changes it too.

The major reason that they many different types of shape is because thy had different materials within themselves. There are varios other things that makes them change. The polarity and shpae plays a big role in these

bertsch said...

Crystalline solids have tons of shpaes. The atoms are arranged in irregular patterns

The molecular shape can change in a crystalline solid. The different atoms are arranged throughout each crystalline solid so it makes it a new shape. THerefore crystalline solids have many different shapes.

junger said...

It has different shapes because of there molecular shape changes. They can be arranged in diffeent patterns. And there polarity changes them.

Its because the molecular shape changes when it bonds with other materials. The strength is apart of it too. Polarity changes it too.

The reason for the many different shapes of cystaline solids is because of their molecular shape changes when it bonds with many different materials. The stregth can also play a huge role the the many shapes of the solid. The polarity changes the shape also.

They have different shapes because they change with different materials. It also different strenghts when it changes shape. They polarity is also changed when the shape changes.

The cystalline solids make different shapes when they are made of different materials. The atoms are arranged in an irregular pattern. The atoms aren't alligned.

There are many different types of shapes in the crystalline solids. They also have different bonds. And they have dofferent materials

The are in many differnt shapes. They do not have alligned atoms. They are in an irregular patern.

Their different shapes depend on the molecular shape of the compounds. It also depends on the mass of the paricles and the temperature at which they combine. These reasons cause the different cystalline solids.
