1. Some of the properties of crystalline solids depend on the __________of the material, the manner in which atoms, ions,
or molecules are spatially arranged.
2. The crystal structure found for many metals has a unit cell of cubic geometry, with atoms located at each of the corners
and the centers of all the cube faces. It is aptly called __________ the crystal structure.
3. Another common metallic crystal structure also has a cubic unit cell with atoms located at all eight corners and a single
atom at the cube center. This is called __________ a crystal structure.
4. Some metals, as well as nonmetals, may have more than one crystal structure, a phenomenon known as ____________.
5. A_________ material is one in which the atoms are situated in a repeating or periodic array over large atomic distances;
that is, long-range order exists, such that upon solidification, the atoms will position themselves in a repetitive three-
dimensional pattern, in which each atom is bonded to its nearest-neighbor atoms.
6-7. Two other important characteristics of a crystal structure are the __________ and the __________.
8. A reduced-sphere unit cell structure, which is termed ________.
9. Most crystalline solids are composed of a collection of many small crystals or such materials are termed ________
10. Thus, in describing crystal structures, it is often convenient to subdivide the structure into small repeat entities called
________
Critical Analysis
1.In the movie Frozen, Elsa was so depressed that she went into the snowy mountain and built her ice castle. Focusing
on the literal ice castle, is it possible to build that kind of castle with all the physical attributes as presented in the movie.
Depend your answer by giving only scientific arguments. You can set your starting assumptions and parameters. You are
expected to apply concepts and knowledge in materials science.

hexagonal closepacked (HCP), crystalline, face-centered cubic (FCC), crystal structure, polymorphism, body-
centered cubic (BCC), polycrystalline, unit cells, atomic packing factor (APF), coordination number, grains;
