Answer:
The lattice type defines the location of the lattice points within the unit cell. The lattice parameters define the size and shape of the unit cell. The motif is a list of the atoms associated with each lattice point, along with their fractional coordinates relative to the lattice point.

Answer:
The motif should be positioned identically at each lattice point (i.e. should not be rotated or distorted from point to point). Note: If the atom has spherical symmetry, rotations would not matter!
