Small crystals act as "seeds" and facilitate the formation of crystal growth, especially in super-saturated solutions.

No. Small crystals form.


What are the conditions which small and large crystals are likely to form?

Small crystals are likely to form when the solution cools quickly or when there are impurities present that inhibit crystal growth. Large crystals are likely to form when the solution is allowed to cool slowly or when there is a high concentration of solute in the solution.


Do igneous rocks have small crystals large crystals or no crystals?

Igneous rocks can have both small and large crystals, depending on how quickly they cool. If an igneous rock cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, it can form large crystals, while rapid cooling at the Earth's surface or in an eruption can result in small or no visible crystals.

How can I make large sugar crystals at home?

To make large sugar crystals at home, create a supersaturated sugar solution by heating water and gradually adding sugar until no more can dissolve. Pour the solution into a clean glass container, suspend a string or stick in the solution, and let it sit undisturbed for several days. As the water evaporates, sugar crystals will form on the string or stick.


Which Is what allows large crystals to form?

When magma coos slowly, it allows large crystals to form. The process of evaporation helps to form crystals.


Why does sugar form crystals?

Because it's processed from sugar beets. And once the sugar beet is processed it forms sugar crystals


What is the difference between sugar crystals and sugar cubes?

Sugar crystals are individual grains of sugar that form naturally during the sugar refining process. Sugar cubes are formed by pressing sugar crystals together into a compact block or cube shape using a binding agent like water or sugar syrup. Sugar cubes are often used for convenient portioning in beverages.


What are Igneous rocks that have large crystals and small crystals?

Igneous rocks with large crystals are called intrusive rocks, formed from magma cooling slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing for large crystals to form. Igneous rocks with small crystals are called extrusive rocks, formed from lava cooling quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in small crystals due to rapid cooling.

How do sugar crystals form on plants?

Sugar crystals form on plants through a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a type of sugar. The excess glucose is stored in the plant's cells in the form of sugar crystals.
