= Water of crystallization
{wiki=Water_of_crystallization}
Water of crystallization refers to the water molecules that are integrally associated with a crystalline solid. These water molecules are part of the structure of the compound and are essential for maintaining the stability and integrity of the crystal lattice. When certain salts and other compounds crystallize, they can incorporate water molecules into their structure. This incorporation of water can significantly affect the physical and chemical properties of the compound, including its solubility, color, and stability.
