The difference between atomic structures and crystal structures is that in atomic structures, atom patterns are mismatched, random, and disordered unlike crystal structures in which atoms are positioned in orderly and repeated patterns.For example to crystalline structure; BCC FCC and HCP

On the molecular structure of a diamond the term crystal refers to?
What is the molecular structure of diamonds?
What is the difference between a mineral and a crystal?
A crystal is a solid state of a mineral, the crystalline shapes formed by minerals depend upon their molecular structure. Wheras it is possible for a mineral to be liquified within molten lava for instance, it does not form back into crystals until it cools under a process known as fractional crystallisation.

Is iodine crystal an ionic or molecular crystal?
it has molecular crystals
What is the difference between a crystal and luster?
Luster is a property of minerals that describes their appearance. A crystal is the structure that minerals possess due to the arrangement of their atomic particles.

What is the difference between a homogenous and a heterogenous mixture?
A principal difference between solid phases is the crystal structure, or arrangement, of the atoms
What is the difference between crystal habit and cleavage?
i think crystal habit is the minerals structure, while cleavage is the patter it breaks into.
What is the difference between nano anatase and nano rutile?
The difference in the crystal structure of the anatase phase and rutile phase
What is the difference between crystal and solid?
A crystal is a solid that has a definite, regular structure in its atoms, molecules, or ions. Not all solids are like this.

Is rounded quartz crystal in sandstone considered a mineral?
Yes. While the crystal form is not apparent, there is still a crystalline structure on the molecular scale.
What is the difference between a crystal and a crystal system?
Crystal systems are the way in which unit cells are categorized according to their axial and dimensional symmetry while crystal structure refers to size, shape, and atomic arrangement within the lattice.
Why is vanadium pentoxide yellow in colour?
because the arrangement of the oxygens in the crystal structure sets the energy difference between a molecular orbital energy level and its excited state to correspond to that wavelength of light. If you change the orientation of the oxygens, change the number of oxygens or change the ligands to something altogether different, the difference in molecular orbital energy levels will also change. The new energy difference will correspond to a new color.
