Why is salt shaped cubical?

Salt crystals are not always cubical in shape; their shape depends on how the salt was formed. Cubic shapes can form when salt crystals grow in enclosed spaces with limited room to expand in all directions. The internal arrangement of the sodium and chlorine ions in salt crystals naturally leads to a cubic shape as they pack together.


What are two things influence the shape of salt crystals?

Salt crystals have cubic shapes because they are formed with ionic bonds which creates positive and negative ions, which attract. Because these ions are polar(positive and negative) they connect in a repeating pattern which results in a cubic shape.
