Why Do Crystals Form?


Crystal form due to a growing process called nucleation. Nucleation starts either with molecules themselves or with the aid of some solid matter which is already in the solution.

Physically, we identify metals by their opaque, lustrous appearance and their relative density, compared with other elements. Functionally, metals are good conductors of heat and
When molecules of the "solute" (the stuff of which you want to grow crystals) are in solution, most of the time they see only solvent molecules around them. However, occasionally
Aloft in clouds, water vapor chills enough that its airy molecules cling together in tight order to form crystals. New research details how humidity and temperature cause crystals
1 Additional Answer
Crystals are formed from crystallization. Crystal molecules grow together in a liquid, usually water and temperature changes cause the molecules and the water to harden together forming a crystal.
