Solution

Crystals:

  • Attaching atoms, groups of atoms or molecules results in a crystal structure.
  • The inherent nature of the component particles produces symmetric patterns, which results in this structure.
  • The unit cell of a structure is a tiny group of repeating patterns of the atomic structure.
  • A unit cell is a crystal structure's building block that also describes the overall crystal structure and symmetry, as well as the atom locations and major axes.

Types of crystals:

  • Cubic
  • Monoclinic
  • Trigonal
  • Tetragonal
  • Triclinic
  • Hexagonal
  • Orthorhombic
