Which point defect lowers the density of crystals?
Any change in the configuration of the lattice of the crystal which causes the crystal structure to deviate from the ideal structure is called a crystal structure. It is of the following types - Point defects Line defects Surface defects volume defects
Solids that are made up of particles of matter arranged in repeating geometric patters are called?
Solids that are made up of particles arranged in repeating geometric patterns are called deposition. It is also known as desublimation. It is a thermodynamic process.
Why should Recrystallization cool slowly?
when something cools more slowly the crystals are larger. Therefore it is harder and less easy to break. Slowly grown crystals also are less prone to defects in their structure.
What are Orange crystals called like the purple crystals are called Amethyst and things what about Orange crystals?
there are many names including calcite
Is heat a thermodynamic function?
what is heat a thermodynamic function

What are crystals with line defects thermally unstable?
Crystals with line defects are thermally unstable as its ethalpy change increases more than its entropy change. This leads to an increased in Gibbs free energy.

Solids that are made up of particles arranged in repeating geometric patterns are called deposition. It is also known as desublimation. It is a thermodynamic process.
Can you put the word thermodynamic is a sentence?
yes the word "thermodynamic" can be called a sentence. "THERMO" means heat and "DYNAMICS means motion or movement. -Thermodynamic refers to the study of heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work.
What is a discrete group of birth defects that are as a result of a single cause called?
Such groups of defects are called "syndromes".
What are small crystals called?
Small crystals. :D
Why should Recrystallization cool slowly?
when something cools more slowly the crystals are larger. Therefore it is harder and less easy to break. Slowly grown crystals also are less prone to defects in their structure.

What are the large crystals called in an igneous rock mostly composed of a finer grained matrix?
The larger crystals or masses of larger crystals are called phenocrysts.
What is a rock with large crystals scattered on a background of much smaller crystals called?
If igneous, it is called a porphyry.
