Description
Flowers of hoarfrost on a window pane. Inconsistencies in a surface can alter or direct crystal formation. In this case frost crystals have formed along scratches in the surface of the glass. The crystals formed have hexagonal symmetry owing to the fixed shape of the water molecule. The latter comprises 2 hydrogen atoms making an angle of 105 degrees with 1 oxygen atom. The molecules can achieve a stable crystal only when in an hexagonal arrangement.
