20
Q

substances that crystalize in several arrangements

A

Polymorphous

21
Q

are crystals that are the same in two dimensions but different in the third

A

Polytypes

22
Q

are made of atoms that readily lose electrons to form positive ions (cations), but no atoms in the crystal would readily gain electrons.

A

Metallic crystals

23
Q

cations and anions form strong electrostatic interactions that hold the crystal lattice together.

A

Ionic crystals

24
Q

The atoms or molecules are held together by a mix of hydrogen bonding/dipole-dipole and dispersion forces, and these are the attractive forces that are broken when the crystal melts..

A

Molecular crystals

25
Q

are made of atoms in which each atom is covalently bonded to its nearest neighbors.

A

Covalent network crystals

26
Q

made up of layers of rings of carbon atoms.

A
