Hydrogen gas (H2) does not exhibit a crystal structure at standard conditions because it is a gas composed of diatomic molecules. In order for hydrogen to form a crystal structure, it needs to be in a solid form, such as solid hydrogen which exhibits different crystal structures depending on the temperature and pressure conditions.
No, quartz can exhibit different crystal structures depending on temperature and pressure conditions during its formation. The most common crystal structure of quartz is the hexagonal system, but variations can occur, leading to different forms such as amethyst and citrine.
A substance can have more than one melting point if it undergoes polymorphism or exhibits different crystal structures at different temperatures. Different crystal structures can have different melting points due to variations in the arrangement of atoms or molecules. Therefore, the substance can melt at different temperatures depending on the crystal structure present.
That's different for each crystal. A crystal is defined by the way the atoms are arranged in it's structure, so this question is not really answerable for all crystalline structures.
Minerals form crystal structures.
Silver and iron have different properties because they have different atomic structures. Silver is a transition metal with strong metallic bonding and high ductility, while iron is also a transition metal but forms different crystal structures and exhibits magnetic properties due to its unpaired electrons. These differences in atomic structure lead to variations in properties such as conductivity, malleability, and strength.
Geologists classify crystal structures based on the arrangement of atoms within the crystal lattice, the symmetry of the crystal, and the types of bonds between atoms. Common crystal structures include cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, and triclinic structures.

Atoms are arranged in a 3-dimensional pattern in a crystal lattice, giving rise to different types of crystal structures such as cubic, hexagonal, and tetragonal. These structures determine the physical properties of the material.

Chemically the same, calcite and aragonite have different crystal latticeworks, thus their crystals have a different appearance and have different crystal classifications, making them both independently recognized minerals.

Mixed crystal formation occurs when two different chemical compounds form a single crystal structure. This can happen when two substances have similar structures that can intermix or when they have complementary structures that can align. Mixed crystals often exhibit unique properties due to the combination of the two substances within the crystal lattice.
Plutonium has six allotropes with various crystal structures. At room temperature, the most stable form is alpha-plutonium, which has a monoclinic crystal structure. At higher temperatures, it transforms into a face-centered cubic structure known as beta-plutonium.
By definition, a mineral must have a crystal structure.
