Why do borax crystals grow differently at different temperatures?
Because hot water can dissolve more of the borax and it needs to be supersaturated so that when it cools it cannot hold as much borax in each molecule, so it releases some of the borax into it's natural repeating mineral shape.
Do borax crystals form faster than salt crystals?
yes
Chemical name for borax?
Borax, also known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate, is an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid. It is usually a white powder consisting of soft colorless crystals that dissolve easily in water.-----------------------------http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borax
Does borax dissolve in water?
yes it does
Are borax crystals ionic compounds?
yes. borax crystal ia ionic compound.
Do salt crystals form faster than borax crystals?
Well it depends. But im currently growing salt, suagr and borax crystals and my borax crystals formed first. So i guess my answer is No, borax crystals grow faster but dont take my answer as a fact i could be wrong.

What are crystals of borax?
a brown one
How long does it take for borax crystals to grow?
they grow faster because it is mixed with water
How does temperature effect borax crystals?

How do borax crystals form?
Borax has a solubility of 5.8 grams per 100 milliliters of solution or 5.8 percent at room temperature. However at an elevated water temperature, more borax will dissolve than at room temperature. As the hot borax solution cools to room temperature, it becomes supersaturated. Supersaturated solutions are unstable and the excess borax will crystallize on any rough surface.
Does borax dissolve in water?
yes it does
Are borax crystals ionic compounds?
yes. borax crystal ia ionic compound.
