Crystalline A crystalline material is one

material in which the atoms are

situated in a repeating or

periodic array over large

atomic distances. Upon

solidification, the atoms will

position themselves in a

repetitive three-dimensional

pattern, in which each atom

is bonded to its nearest-

neighbour atoms. 125
