Slower cooling allows the atoms time to arrange in a crystalline form, whereas faster cooling freezes the atoms in position before they can all arrange themselves in the crystalline structure.

Slower cooling results in purer crystals because the atoms have more time to arrange in a crystal like form. While faster cooling freezes the atoms in place before they can arrange themselves in a crystal like form.

Crystals take time to form. Slow cooling rocks like granite have large crystals, but faster-cooling rocks like basalt have small or no crystals.

when a crystal is bigger there are less places for impurites to grow wich means the inside is pure but the out side is impure

Because rapid cooling creates smaller crystals that aren't as nice to look at, nor as structuraly sound as slow cooling crystals.

Because there would not be big crystal.
