Summary: 
The crystal lattice structure is one of the most difficult and complex topics in Chemistry, an intersection between physics and chemistry knowledge. When instructing excellent students to learn about this problem, it is essential to have specific activities associated with the requirements of solving advanced exercises. The article introduced the concept of “difficult problems” in learning and developing suitable activities for students who are good at Chemistry subject in terms of crystal lattice structure. Based on the survey results of teachers participating in training and excellent students in Chemistry subject in high schools, the article develops activities to foster excellent students on this topic
Keywords: 
Difficult problems
students good at Chemistry
crystal lattice structure
crystal lattice types
tightness.
