crystal
Significado
a clear, transparent mineral, a solid formed by a regular arrangement of atoms, a glassy substance used in various applications
Un cristal es un material sólido caracterizado por una estructura interna ordenada y simétrica, donde los átomos se disponen en un patrón repetitivo. Este término se utiliza tanto para describir minerales naturales, como el cuarzo, como para referirse a materiales fabricados, como el vidrio de alta calidad utilizado en vajillas y decoraciones. Los cristales son valorados por su belleza y claridad, y tienen aplicaciones en joyería, tecnología y ciencia.
💡 While "crystal" commonly refers to both the structure and the physical manifestation of such materials, it is important to distinguish between the scientific definition and colloquial uses, such as in jewelry or decorative contexts, which may not emphasize the underlying structural properties.
