The crystalline structure of metals is face-centered cubic or body-centered cubic.
Metals are crystalline because the bond via metallic bonding, are unrestricted as to number and position of nearest neighbor atoms, and have dense atomic packing. Due to these traits, they form a lattice microstructure (i.e., crystal)
Nickel is a metallic solid in the group of transition metals.
A diamond is a crystalline solid. It is made up of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, which gives it its hardness and clarity. This organized arrangement of atoms is characteristic of crystalline solids.
Metal atoms held togehter by colvalent bonds
Copper is a metal & solid
