The following definition of crystallography is a quotation from the Wikipedia article on crystallography.

"Crystallography is the science of the arrangement of atoms in solids. The word "crystallography" derives from the Greek words crystallon = cold drop / frozen drop, with its meaning extending to all solids with some degree of transparency, and grapho = write."

Why are common salts called hydrated salts?

Only some salts have hydrates, not all. These salts contain in the formula water of crystallization.


Who first described the double-helix structure of DNA?

Basically, DNA was purified by a number of methods to the point that crystals formed, X-ray diffraction studies of these crystals provided the evidence that a double helix was the only geometric structure consistent with the diffraction "shadows: obtained.-rb43081


Is sea salt pure salt?

NO! Sea salt is a mixture of a lot of different salts, which may be poisonous too. It consists majority of common salt (NaCl) but also consists of some other dissolved salts like Potassium Bromide, Calcium salts and others. As all salts are salty, the sea water is salty, too By Katy... : When you say that some salts are poisonous, They are probably not. If you have gone swimming in the sea and have got it in your mouth (which most people probably have) then you will find that you don't become seriously ill if you accidentally swallow some! The only time you can say that sea salt is poisonous is when you purposely swallow it constantly!! the only part of salt water that is poisonous is the dead sea!

Why can only metal superconductors plasmas and ionic solutions conduct electricity?

The reason is that there must be free electrons or charged particals that can move under the influence of an applied electric firld. Please note that other substances may conduct electricity e.g. graphite and molten ionic salts.

How do you separate iodine crystals from table salt?

iodine crystals are black, table salt crystals are white.however I doubt that was your question. I think you are referring to iodized table salt. there are no iodine crystals in iodized salt, instead they add sodium iodide to the table salt. sodium iodide crystals are indistinguishable visually from the sodium chloride crystals of table salt.the only practical way to separate sodium iodide from sodium chloride is the very tedious repetitive process of dissolving the mixed salts and performing fractional crystallization of the solution.
