Every silicon atom in quartz is bonded to four oxygen atoms.The bonds that hold these atoms together are very strong. All of the Si-O-Si and O-Si-O bond angles are the same. That is,each one is 109.5.

Why does slower cooling result in purer crytsalS?
Slower cooling allows the atoms time to arrange in a crystalline form, whereas faster cooling freezes the atoms in position before they can all arrange themselves in the crystalline structure.
The term used to describe silver and bromide atoms that combine to form the crystals in our film emulsion is?
substance
What are solid materials that have a repeated pattern of atoms?
Crystals
What arrangement of atoms in a repeating pattern in a mineral causes the formation of?
The arrangement of atoms in a mineral sample can cause the formation of crystals.
Are electrons in ionic crystals tightly bound?
Atoms are bonded in ionic crystals.
If magma cools slowly atoms do not have time to arrange themselves into large crystals?
False they have all the time in the wrold to form
Magma cools slowly atoms cant arrange into crystals?
IF the magma cools slowly witin Earths eated interior the atoms have time 2 arrange themselves into large crystals!
What are the shapes of minerals made by their atoms are arrange?
The shapes are called crystals.
Why does slower cooling result in purer crytsalS?
Slower cooling allows the atoms time to arrange in a crystalline form, whereas faster cooling freezes the atoms in position before they can all arrange themselves in the crystalline structure.
Why don't crystals always form in extrusive rocks?
In some cases the molten rock cools too quickly for the atoms to arrange themselves into a crystalline structure.
If magma cools slowly do atoms have time to arrange themselves into large crystals?
False: they do have time 2 for large crystals 2 be made
How do metal atoms form from metallic bonds in crystals?
No
Is water vapor a form of crystals?
No, crystallization requires a solid material of atoms or ions that arrange in an orderly repeating pattern in all three dimensions. Water vapor is merely the gas state of H20.
When particles of salt arrange themselves in regular geometric patterns what do they form?
They form a crystal structure.
Is sodium metal composed of molecular crystals?
No, sodium or any other metal will form crystals of individual atoms, not molecules.
How can you predict how atoms will combine to form a molecule?
You can predict how atoms will combine to form a molecule because molecules always arrange their atoms in the same proportions because atoms bond together in predictable ways. :)
Does lava cool quickly and form minerals with small crystals?
Yes. The faster lava cools, the less time crystals have to form. If the lava cools slowly and has a low viscosity, atoms are able to move around more and form larger crystals.
