Crystallization is a process in which a substance transitions from a liquid or gas state to a solid state, forming crystals with an ordered and repeating three-dimensional structure.
It occurs when the solute in a solution becomes more concentrated, reaching its saturation point and subsequently precipitating as solid crystals. This phenomenon is employed in various industries, such as chemistry and metallurgy, for the purification of substances.
Crystallization is crucial in fields like material science, where the properties of crystals influence the behavior and functionality of materials in applications ranging from electronics to pharmaceuticals.
