Abstract

. crystallization is the process through with the atoms, molecules icon arranges themselves in a repeating pattern. There are numerous methods to obtain crystal, any number which may be applicable to a given compound. When sometimes it may see that crystallization is more of an art than a science. There are several methods that generally produce crystals. For small molecules. These methods are typically based on reducing the solubility of the sample. The solubility of most compound decreases as the temperature is lowered thus the cooling of a saturated solution will often produce crystals. Since rapid cooling may cause the precipitation of amorphous solid or microscopic crystals. It is often to wise to surround the flask with an insulating medium to slow the rate of cooling.
