Question

Distinguish between: Crystal lattice and unit cell?
​

Answer 1

hey mate

let us keep the answer short and simple

A lattice is a complex network structure having small units attached to each other. These small units are known as unit cells. The difference between lattice and unit cell is that a lattice is a regular repeated three-dimensional arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a metal or other crystalline solid whereas a unit cell is a simple arrangement of spheres (atoms, molecules or ions) which resemble the repeating pattern of a lattice.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Crystal lattice and unit cell :

A crystal lattice refers to the periodic structure of a crystal. The unit cell is a repeating part of the crystal structure. You can think of the crystal lattice as being made of multiple unit cells stacked together. A unit cell is one way to describe the structure of the crystal.

                                                      The lattice refers to the set of all lattice points which typically is infinite, but the unit cell is confined to a particular volume with a discrete number of points.
