Crystalline solid:

Crystal lattice:

Well-ordered, definite arrangements of molecules, atoms or ions. Crystals have an ordered, repeated Long Range Order structure.

Three-dimensional stacking of unit cells is the crystal lattice. A Lattice:

A Crystal

A Crystal

A lattice is array of points, each of which is indistinguishable from other points and has identical surroundings 5

Fundamental Concepts

Fundamental Concepts Unit cell:

Basis

The smallest repeating unit in a crystal is a unit cell. Unit cell is the smallest unit with all the symmetry of the entire crystal.

A basis is any object or combination of objects (atoms or molecules) that can be assigned to a lattice point

The top and bottom faces of the unit cell consist of six atoms that form regular hexagons and surround a single atom in the center. Another plane that provides three additional atoms to the unit cell is situated between the top and bottom planes. each atom has 12 nearest neighboring atoms. Zinc, Titanium, Cobalt, Cadmium exhibit hcp structures.
