Crystalline Solids.Solids can be crystalline or amorphous.* Crystalline solid is a solid with a regular arrangement of its components.Some examples are diamond, silica, and graphite. * Amorphous solid is a solid with considerable disorder in its structure, as in common glass or rubber.
In ice, water forms a rigid lattice structure. Every water molecule has 4 hydrogen bonds with other water molecules, 1 from each hydrogen and 2 from each oxygen.
There are no factual structures to an atom because atoms are such small particles. The theory is that there are charged, neutral and negative nucleus that make up a single atom.
This means that the material in question (in this case a mineral) is composed of atoms or molecules that are arranged in an orderly pattern in three dimensions. For more information, please see the related link.

The answer is crystals
A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material, whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.
molecules
molecules
Crystalline is a solid material whose constituent atoms, molecules or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern that extends in all three spatial dimensions. The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is known as crystallography.
Orderly
When water freezes the molecules come together and become more orderly. When water melts the molecules loosen apart.
By looking at atoms and molecules with this tool, scientists have discovered that often atoms a nd molecules are arranged in orderly patterns
The molecules in a gas are always spaced out in a random pattern and without strong forces of attraction that hold them together in an orderly arrangement unlike liquids where the molecules are closely packed but not in a orderly arrangement and they cannot move freely, however can still move around, due to the not very strong forces of attraction between them, and solids, where the molecules are closely packed into an orderly arrangement and they can only move around in their fixed positions, therefore gas molecules can move freely and can be compressed into the spaces between them.
A crystal lattice is the arrangement of atoms inside of a crystal. This arrangement is a three dimensional figure.
Crystalline materials are those substances whose atoms, molecules or ions are arranged in repeating patterns in all three dimensions. It is usually possible to discern this orderly relationship at the macroscopic level.
