There are many factors which combine to determine the structure of a solid. In this chapter we shall consider one of the factors simplest to understand, namely the size and shape of the molecules composing a molecular solid. Crystals often achieve a packing of their molecules into the smallest possible volume. This geometrical factor determines completely the structure of some solids and packing considerations are always an important factor in fixing the shapes of all solids.
