The molecules fit into the assembly like the pieces of a puzzle.
These molecules are a small part of a piece of ice. The structure they make is known as a crystalline lattice, a three-dimensional grid based on the location of molecules that makes a repeating pattern throughout the ice. When water freezes, and millions of molecules combine, the hexagonal geometry is still there
Now visible to the eye, it is a reflection of its own molecular substructure. |
