Question
B. Snowflakes are ice crystals that form in the atmosphere and sometimes
fall to Earth's surface. The two photographs of snowflakes in Fig. A3.2.20
were taken by Kenneth Libbrecht of Caltech and show a symmetric
pattern of growth.
1. How many arms does snowflake 1 have?
sides does the inner part of snowflake 2 have?
many arms does snowflake 2 have?
2. There are six crystal families: isometric or cubic, tetragonal,
orthorhombic, monoclinic, triclinic, and hexagonal. Using the
number of arms on a snowflake as a hint, what crystal system do
ice crystals belong to?
What is the basis for your
interpretation?
