The following definition of crystallography is a quotation from the Wikipedia article on crystallography.

"Crystallography is the science of the arrangement of atoms in solids. The word "crystallography" derives from the Greek words crystallon = cold drop / frozen drop, with its meaning extending to all solids with some degree of transparency, and grapho = write."

Why are common salts called hydrated salts?

Only some salts have hydrates, not all. These salts contain in the formula water of crystallization.


Who first described the double-helix structure of DNA?

Basically, DNA was purified by a number of methods to the point that crystals formed, X-ray diffraction studies of these crystals provided the evidence that a double helix was the only geometric structure consistent with the diffraction "shadows: obtained.-rb43081


Do halite crystals form when fresh water evaporates?

Halite is rock salt. Even some fresh water lakes have Na+ and Cl- dissolved in them, so I would guess that yes, some halite forms. But probably not all that much compared to a salt lake evaporating.


What kind of bath salts can you eat?

It is not safe to eat any kind of bath salts. Bath salts are meant to be used for external purposes only, such as adding fragrance or minerals to bathwater. Ingesting bath salts can be harmful or toxic to your health.


Why would only tiny crystals from the earliest rocks would have survived?

Only tiny crystals from the earliest rocks would have survived due to their size and resilience against geological processes. Smaller crystals have a higher surface area to volume ratio, making them less susceptible to weathering and erosion. Additionally, larger crystals are more likely to be broken down or altered by heat, pressure, and chemical reactions over time. As a result, only the smallest and most durable crystals remain from the ancient rock formations.

How do you separate iodine crystals from table salt?

iodine crystals are black, table salt crystals are white.however I doubt that was your question. I think you are referring to iodized table salt. there are no iodine crystals in iodized salt, instead they add sodium iodide to the table salt. sodium iodide crystals are indistinguishable visually from the sodium chloride crystals of table salt.the only practical way to separate sodium iodide from sodium chloride is the very tedious repetitive process of dissolving the mixed salts and performing fractional crystallization of the solution.

no only pure crystals have only one type of atom.Quartz for instance is usually SiO4 but can have Fe3+ included in it if it is iron stained.
