- Ice crystals are hexagonal in shape due to the following reasons1234:
- Water molecules arrange themselves into layered hexagons upon freezing.
- The bipolar molecules in water are attracted to each other, forming a hexagonal crystal lattice.
- The molecules that form ice crystals (snowflakes) are made from two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom, and they arrange themselves in a lattice of hexagonal rings.
- The smoothest surface orientations of ice are the prism and basal surfaces, which grow the slowest and become flat crystal faces or facets, resulting in hexagonal plates or dendrites.

Slower crystal growth from colder and drier atmospheres produces more hexagonal symmetry.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_crystalWhen water freezes, the bipolar molecules are attracted to each other, forming a hexagonal crystal lattice.wxguys.ssec.wisc.edu/2021/01/04/ice-crystals/As Benedict explains, the water molecules that form ice crystals (snowflakes) are made from two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. On Earth, when these molecules come together in the sky to create ice, they arrange themselves in a lattice of hexagonal rings.www.buffalo.edu/news/tipsheets/2018/001.htmlThe two surface orientations of ice that are the smoothest are the prism and basal surfaces. They therefore grow the slowest and become flat crystal faces, or facets. At some temperatures the growth on the basal faces is slower than that on the prism faces. Then the crystals grow as hexagonal plates or dendrites.www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-snowfla… - People also ask
