    Crystals
    When clay is heated, chemical reactions occur and new compounds such as porcelain
    are made.
    During cooling, crystals form and bind together in the ceramic.

    Slower cooling produces


    larger crystals because
    atoms have more time to
    form a lattice structure.

    Lattice structure
    Large number of atoms in a fixed, regular pattern, joined by strong bonds. This makes them stiff
    with very high melting points.
