Question

Put the steps in order to show how crystals are formed. Formation of ions: Formation of crystals: Formation of ionic bonds: Formation of cubes:

Answer 1

Explanation:

Formation of crystals starts with formation of ions. After the formation of ions the bond formation takes place between the ions.

Bond making between the ions give rise to formation of cubic unit cell by placing them in such a fashion that it forms a shape of a cube.

These cube are then arranged in a repeated pattern which ultimately leads to the formation of crystals.

Hence, the order of steps:

Step 1 : Formation of ions

Step 2: Formation of ionic bonds

Step 3: Formation of cubes

Step 4: Formation of crystals

Answer 2

Formation of Ions, Formation of Ionic Bonds, Formation of cubes, and last, Formation of crystals.
