Question

How many types of three-dimensional lattices are present in crystals?

Answer 1

Crystal lattice:

1. The atoms or particles in crystal formations are arranged in a regular pattern. A crystal lattice is a three-dimensional representation of such an atom arrangement.
2. Thus, a lattice is a set of points arranged in a specific sequence that describes the arrangement of particles in a crystalline solid.
3. According to a French scientist, there are fourteen different three-dimensional lattices that can be created.
4. They have six basic shapes.

Therefore, there are $14$ three-dimensional lattices.
