Yes. This is due to the face-centred cubic lattice structure of the crystals which have a cubical unit cell.

What basic shape is the crystalline structure of NaCI?
Crystals of sodium chloride are cubic, but this refers to their microstructure. A larger scale crystal of sodium chloride can have almost any shape.
What does the outward shape of a crystal reflect?
I asume you mean indicate. The shape of a crystal is exactly the same shape as the ions, metalic bonds, or molecules. Salt (sodium Chloride) ions are arranged in a cube stucture, resulting in cubic crystals. The hydrogen bonds in water, when frozen, form hexagonal patterns, which is why every snowflake has six sides.
What shape are sodium chloride salt crystal?
cubes, very small cubes
What is the difference between a tetragonal crystal and a cubic crystal?
what is the difference between an cubic and a tetragonal crystal
What are two things influence the shape of salt crystals?
Salt crystals have cubic shapes because they are formed with ionic bonds which creates positive and negative ions, which attract. Because these ions are polar(positive and negative) they connect in a repeating pattern which results in a cubic shape.
What shape and colour is common salt crystal?
White (colorless) cubic crystals.
What shape do salt crystals have?
Table salt is cube shaped while epsom salt (type of salt) is prism shaped.
What shape is a salt NaCl crystal?
The crystallization structure of sodium chloride is face-centered cubic.
What is the crystal shape of halite?
Halite forms cubic crystals.
What is a mineral with the same crystal system as salt?
Fluorite belongs to the same crystal system as salt - the cubic (also known as the isometric) crystal system.
How do you tthink the cubic crystal shape got its name?
It was formed in a cubic shape that was discovered by Bob in 1827. Wisecracker noticed its cubic geometric shape and formalized it in 1831.
How did the cubic crystal get it shape?
From eating too much sugar.
The cubic shape of a mineral crystal is most likely the result of that crystal?
internal arrangement of atoms
Which of these is the shape of a crystal of NaCl?
Face-centered cubic crystalline structure.
What basic shape is the crystalline structure of NaCI?
Crystals of sodium chloride are cubic, but this refers to their microstructure. A larger scale crystal of sodium chloride can have almost any shape.
Salt crystal's is shaped as a what?
Sodium chloride crystals are face-centered cubic.
What is pyrites crystal shape?
Pyrite is in the cubic/isometric crystal system where three axes running through the center of the crystal are of equal length and form an angle of 90 degrees at intersection.
