I believe this is due to the molecules' tendency to join at certain angles. Different atoms and molecules will have a tendency to join at different angles, and thus have the tendency to form different types of patterns.

Can you explain the difference between snowflakes and snow crystals?

Snowflakes and snow crystals are both formed from frozen water vapor, but they have different structures. Snowflakes are clusters of snow crystals that stick together as they fall from the sky. Snow crystals are individual ice crystals that form in the atmosphere. Snowflakes can have a variety of shapes and sizes, while snow crystals typically have a hexagonal shape.


What is six sided ice crystals?

Six-sided ice crystals are commonly referred to as snowflakes. Snowflakes form when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and freezes into intricate hexagonal shapes as they fall to the ground. Each snowflake's unique pattern is determined by the temperature and humidity levels it encounters during its formation.
