उत्तर
| Crystal lattice | Unit cell |
| The three-dimensional arrangement of structural units or constituent particles (atoms, molecules or ions) in a crystal is called a space lattice or crystal lattice or simply a lattice. | Unit cell is the smallest three-dimensional group of lattice points which, when repeated in three dimensions in space, gives the whole lattice of the crystal. |
