    There’s still atom-to-arom repulsion because of electron shells (that are negatovely charged) and attraction because of electron pairs forming a crystal bond, and other factors I don’t know about.

    My explaination is a gross oversimplification, and crystal chemistry is hard, but it should give a hint of what is going on.
