Answer:

thank you

A crystal lattice is made of points. ... Crystals can only exist in 2, 3, 4 or 6-fold rotational axis. The reason why this is not possible is that the external shape of the crystal is dependent on the geometric arrangements of atoms. Therefore, crystals cannot have 5, 7, 8, and other higher-fold rotational axes
