Are you referring to crystalline solids? If so, the possible structures are primitive (simple) cube, body-centered cube, and face-centered cube. These terms are used to describe the type of unit cell, or repeating pattern of arrangement, representative of the solid in question.

Why does halite form a cube?

Halite (rock salt) forms a cubic crystal structure due to the arrangement of its sodium and chloride ions in a repeating pattern. The ionic bonds between the sodium and chloride atoms cause them to align in a way that minimizes their energy, resulting in a cubic shape. Additionally, the cubic structure allows the halite crystals to easily break along distinct planes.
