Unit Cells: The Simplest Repeating Unit in a Crystal
The structure of solids can be described as if they were three-dimensional analogs of a piece of wallpaper. Wallpaper has a regular repeating design that extends from one edge to the other. Crystals have a similar repeating design, but in this case the design extends in three dimensions from one edge of the solid to the other.
We can unambiguously describe a piece of wallpaper by specifying the size, shape, and contents of the simplest repeating unit in the design. We can describe a three-dimensional crystal by specifying the size, shape, and contents of the simplest repeating unit and the way these repeating units stack to form the crystal.
The simplest repeating unit in a crystal is called a unit cell. Each unit cell is defined in terms of lattice points--the points in space about which the particles are free to vibrate in a crystal.
Answer:
A unit cell is the smallest repeating portion of crystal lattice.
