Is snow a crystal?

A snow crystal is a single crystal of ice, but a snowflake can be an individual crystal, or as many as 200 stuck together to form the big "puff-balls" that often fall when the temperature is just below freezing. The water molecules in ice form a hexagonal (six-sided) lattice, and all snow crystals have six sides. Why are crystals shaped? The shapes of crystals are determined by a number of factors such as the size and length of their surfaces (known as 'faces') and edges, as well as the angles between these. These shapes are named after their geometry - for example, crystals based on cubes belong to the 'cubic or isometric' crystal group.

How many crystals are there?

There are four types of crystals: covalent, ionic, metallic, and molecular. Each type has a different type of connection, or bond, between its atoms. The type of atoms and the arrangement of bonds dictate what type of crystal is formed.
