A unit cell is the smallest repeating unit of a crystal lattice that shows the entire symmetry of the crystal. It's like a building block for crystals.
congrats on reading the definition of Unit Cell. now let's actually learn it.
Lattice Points: These are positions in space about which particles are symmetrically arranged.
Crystal Lattice: This is an orderly, repeating arrangement throughout space formed by unit cells.
Primitive Cell: This is the smallest possible volume element of a crystal lattice.
