In their solid state, sub stan ces assume three-dimen sion al shapes. The prism angles in
the crys tal struc tures that form are of spe cif ic rates. This struc ture is so flaw less ly reg -
u lar that even a 1-degree devi a tion in these angles is ruled out.

evap o rate it and then chill it and freeze it again, the com pound or ele -
ment in ques tion will re-assume the same per fect geo met ric form as
before. The atoms will attach to one anoth er lit er al ly as if they knew
where they had to go, and the same exact angles will appear between
them. When they recom bine, no error will appear in the angles any
great er than 1 degree. If the atoms for mer ly made a hex ag o nal prism
when they came togeth er, they will def i nite ly do so again.
Understanding the small scale in which this per fect order aris es
helps grasp the scale of this per fec tion. The diam e ter of an atom is
approx i mate ly one hun dred mil lionth of 3 cen ti me ters (1.18 inch) and
inside a 3 cm crys tal con tains 100 mil lion x 100 mil lion x 100 mil lion
atoms (100,000,000 x 100,000,000 x 100,000,000). If a reg u lar pro gres sion
of 1/1,000,000 of 3 cm (1.18 inch) is seen, then this sub stance may be
regard ed as a crys tal. Therefore, every crys tal pos sess es mil lions of reg -

under the micro scope. Thus no mat ter how many times you divide a
solid sub stance—a metal for exam ple—into frag ments, you are still left
with crys tal line struc tures, because the atoms in even the small est mol -
e cu les still pre serve their order. Even if you grind the sub stance into a
pow der, you are still left with crys tal frag ments. If you entire ly melt this
