Document Summary

Inorganic precious stones are strong materials composed of atoms, ions, or molecules arranged in a periodic, repeating pattern. These materials have a large number of physical and substance properties and are utilized in a wide range of uses, from hardware and optics to development materials and catalysts. Types of crystals: ionic crystals: here lattice points are occupied by ions. Example: solid nacl (sodium chloride)has na+ cl- . The ionic crystal structure consists of alternating positively-charged cations and negatively-charged anions. The ions may either be monatomic or polyatomic. Generally, ionic crystals form from a combination of group 1 or 2 metals and group 16 or 17 nonmetals or nonmetallic polyatomic ions. Ionic crystals are hard and brittle and have high melting points. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity as solids, but do conduct electricity when molten or in aqueous solution: co-valent crystals: lattice points are occupied by atoms held by covalent bonds.
