No, not all crystals are formed by ions. Some crystals are formed by covalent bonds, where atoms share electrons, rather than by the attraction of ions. Additionally, some crystals can be formed by metallic bonds, where electrons are delocalized among a lattice of metal atoms.
Metallic bonding.
metallic bond
Both are formed from atoms. A compound cannot be divided in atoms by physical procedures.The mixture being formed from compounds can be divided in compounds by physical procedures.
An orderly pattern of ions or atoms in a solid is a crystal.

Crystal Radii is also known as "Metallic Radii ". It is defined as "half the distance between the nuclei of two adjacent metal atoms in the metallic closed packed crystal lattice". It is used for metal atoms which are assumed to be closely packed spheres in the metallic crystal. As for ionic radii .... I don't know.

Lose electrons and become positive ions.
