Crystals that form from supersaturated solutions need a nucleus to grow onto, either the existing crystals or a different structure.

Experiment

To grow a sugar crystal, tie a string to a pencil. Balance the pencil horizontally on top of the jar full of sugar water, with the string hanging in it. After some time (hours), crystals of sugar will precipitate onto the string.

Will crystals grow if you bury them in the ground?

Crystals will not grow if buried in the ground. For crystals to grow, specific conditions are required such as a solution of dissolved minerals, the right temperature, and time. Burial in the ground won't provide these conditions for crystal growth.


Do sugar crystals grow better in acidic or alkaline conditions?

Sugar crystals grow better in acidic conditions because the presence of acid can help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing too quickly, leading to larger and more defined crystals. Alkaline conditions may interfere with the crystallization process and result in smaller or irregularly shaped crystals.


name three things that crystals grow from?

Crystals can grow from a mineral solution, a magma, or a vapor. The specific conditions under which crystals are formed will influence their size, shape, and quality.

Do crystals grow fastly or slowly?

Crystals can grow at different speeds depending on various factors such as temperature, pressure, and chemical composition. Some crystals may form quickly under ideal conditions, while others may take a longer time to grow. Overall, the growth rate of crystals can vary widely from fast to slow.


What conditions do crystals grow best?

They would grow best in a super saturated solution. Perhaps with a "seed", and maybe the ability for the solvent to evaporate.


Does non-living things can produce their own kind?

No. Crystals can grow, but they do it spontaneously, and only if conditions are right.


How long does it take to grow copper sulphate crystals?

It typically takes 1-2 weeks to grow visible copper sulfate crystals in a saturated solution at room temperature. The size of the crystals and the conditions of the solution can affect the growth rate.
