This document discusses crystals and provides examples of different types of crystal compounds, including sodium chloride, copper(II) sulphate, potassium chromate(VI), and potassium dichromate. It notes that crystals have fixed geometrical shapes like cuboids and prisms, with flat surfaces and sharp angles, and that the angles between neighboring surfaces are always the same for a given substance, even if the crystals are different sizes.
7. Physical Properties of Crystals
Have fixed geometrical shapes such as a
cuboid, rhombic or prism
Have flat surfaces, straight edges & sharp
angles.
Have fixed angles between two neighbouring
surfaces
Crystals of the same substance have same
shapes but may be in different sizes
