Answer» Solution :Tetrahedral VOID is surrounded by 4 constituent particles (atoms/molecules/ions). Octahedral void is surrounded by 6 constituent particles (atoms/molecules/ions). OR A regular three dimensional arrangement of points in space is called a crystal LATTICE. UNIT cell is the smallest portion of a crystal lattice which, when repeated in three directions, generates an entire lattice/unit cell is the miniature of crystal lattice/microscopic EDITION of the crystal lattice. |
