What is crystal lattice ? Explain |
| Answer» A regular three-dimensional arrangement of constituent particles in a crystal in which each particle is represented by a point\xa0is called crystal lattice.<br>Crystal Lattices\xa0\tCrystalline solids have a regular and periodically repeating pattern of constituent particles.\tThe diagrammatical representation of three dimensional arrangements of constituent particles of a crystal in space with each particle depicted as a point is called\xa0crystal lattice.\tThere are only 14 possible three dimensional lattices and are known\xa0Bravais Lattices.\tEach point in a lattice is called lattice point or lattice site.\tEach point in a crystal lattice signifies one constituent particle which can be an atom, a molecule or an ion.\tLattice points are joined together using straight lines to identify the geometry of the lattice. | |
