What element will react with crystalline causing it to lose it's organized pattern.

That was my first thought, but I wasn't sure how rigorous the OP was by the use of the term 'element'.3trQN said:Or if its a soluble crystal, a solvent like water.

Liquid crystal is a long polar molecule (chiral too I think).3trQN said:I don't know much about liquid crystals, but they could also be an exception to that rule...intresting one too.
The nature of the beast is such that you will have molecules that don't cooperate. So you will have some residual amorphous areas.3trQN said:I see, by quasi-crystal do you mean that the liquid develops regions of crystaline structure and some where it is still amorphous? Or that its only an induced crystallinity and not a natural one?
I suppose there is some anology here.3trQN said:These are similar to magnetic domains in ferromagnets no?
Not true.NoTime said:Liquid crystal is a long polar molecule (chiral too I think).
AFAIK it is not any sort of crystal in the chemical sense.
However, when in an electric field the heads and tails line up and form a periodic array. A sort of quasicrystal that polarizes light. Without the electric field they just asume a random orientation.
Some common examples of elements that react with crystalline include sodium, potassium, calcium, aluminum, and magnesium. These elements are highly reactive and can react with various types of crystalline structures.
Elements react with crystalline through a process called chemical bonding, where atoms of different elements bond together to form new compounds. This process involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of new chemical bonds.
The effects of elements reacting with crystalline can vary depending on the specific elements and the type of crystalline structure involved. In some cases, the reaction can result in the formation of new compounds with different properties, while in others it may cause structural changes or even destruction of the crystalline material.
No, not all elements can react with all types of crystalline structures. The reactivity of an element depends on its electronic configuration, which determines its ability to form chemical bonds with other elements. Some elements may only react with specific types of crystalline structures, while others may not react at all.
The reactivity of elements with crystalline can be controlled through various means, such as adjusting the temperature, pressure, or the presence of other substances. In some cases, a catalyst may be used to facilitate the reaction between an element and a crystalline material. However, the reactivity of an element is ultimately determined by its inherent properties and cannot be completely controlled.
