The film provides an introduction to crystal growth and structure, focusing on sodium chloride (common salt) as a primary example. It details the process of crystal formation under a microscope, ...

THE extensive use of quartz in piezoelectric oscillators has stimulated the production of synthetic quartz crystals. Spezia 1 in 1906 grew quartz at a temperature somewhat below 300° C.

A small piece of sodium metal is placed in a flask of chlorine gas. A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic ...

Students will be able to develop and explain a particle-level model to describe their observations of water dissolving salt, the water evaporating, and the salt crystals re-forming. Dissolving a solid ...
