What else can I help you with?
Can crystals ever be made out of covalent bonds or is it strictlly only ionic?
Crystals can be made from covalent bonds as well as ionic bonds. Covalent crystals are formed when atoms share electrons, creating a network of interconnected atoms with strong directional bonds. Diamond and quartz are examples of covalent crystals, while sodium chloride (salt) is an example of an ionic crystal.
What are the examples of isomorphism of ionic crystals?
Compounds are said to be isomorphic when the crystals have the same form. In crystallographic terms this means having the same space group. The best known examples are perhaps the alums and the double sulfates, Tutton's salts. The crystals of the different compounds are very similar.
What forms crystals covalent or ionic?
Crystals can form from both covalent and ionic compounds. Covalent crystals are held together by covalent bonds, where atoms share electrons to form a stable structure. Ionic crystals are held together by ionic bonds, where oppositely charged ions attract each other to form a lattice structure.
Are borax crystals ionic compounds?
Yes, borax crystals are an ionic compound. Borax is made up of ions composed of boron, sodium, and oxygen atoms that are held together by ionic bonds.
Are ionic crystals good conductors?
No, ionic crystals are typically poor conductors of electricity because the ions are locked in a rigid lattice structure and cannot move freely to carry electric charge. However, when ionic crystals are dissolved in water or melted, their ions can move more freely and conduct electricity.

Are electrons in ionic crystals tightly bound?
Atoms are bonded in ionic crystals.
Why ionic crystals don't conduct electricity in the solid state?
In the solid state ionic crystals are not dissociated in ions.

What is a kind of matiral that occurs in a cryistalline form?
Salt and Sugar are common examples of crystalline solids. Ionic bonds in molecules generally produce crystals.

Can you compare and contrast the 4 types of crystals?
Covalent, Metallic, and Ionic crystals have high melting points and densities, but molecular crystals tend to be soft and has a lower melting point. Covalent crystal=covalent bond and Ionic crystal=ionic bond.
Solid substances can be divided into amorphous and crstalline solids. The latter can be subdivided into ionic molecular covalent netwrok and metallic give two examles of each.?
Amorphous solids have no repeatable structure at the atomic level. Examples include glass (SiO2) and polystyrene. Ionic crystals contain ionic salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl, face-centered cubic) and cesium bromide (CsBr, body-centered cubic). Molecular crystals are held together by weak physical bonds. Examples include table sugar (sucrose), and dry ice (solid CO2). Covalent network crystals share electrons. Examples include diamond (hexagonal close-packed) and graphite (rhombohedral). Metallic crystals are visualized as atoms in a sea of electrons. Examples include mercury (Hg) and tungsten (W).
Are borax crystals ionic compounds?
Yes, borax crystals are an ionic compound. Borax is made up of ions composed of boron, sodium, and oxygen atoms that are held together by ionic bonds.
What kind of bonds form crystals?
ionic solids
The ions in most ionic compounds are organized into what?
crystals :)
Are ionic crystals good conductors?
