   Crystal
   A large number of objects that are all the same size and shape and are attracted to one another will tend to form repeating three-dimensional structures, instead of lying about randomly. A more complicated crystal will be formed if more than one kind of object is present. You are probably most familiar with crystals of simple covalent solids (like sugar) or ionic solids(like table salt), where the attractive forces between perfectly ordinary molecules and ions line up in an orderly fashion to gi...

   Crystal
   A rather modern term for the transparent cover over the dial of a watch (usually called simply ‘glass` until the late 19th century).   Plastic ‘crystals` began to appear soon after 1900 and are now often found as replacements on older watches. True rock crystal was sometimes used in very early watch

    Crystal
    A discrete solid where the atoms,ions or molecules are arranged in an ordered 3-dimensional structure. The regular structures have the ability to 'bend' or diffract beams of X-rays, and this aspect of crystallography is an extremely helpful tool in structure determination.

    crystal
    A sample of a crystalline solid that has a regular shape bound by plane surfaces (facets) that intersect at characteristic angles. The shape results from the arrangement of the substances atoms, ions, or molecules. Most crystals contain defects that can strongly affect their optical and electrical properties.
