Answer:
The space lattice of a crystal is built up of a three dimensional basic pattern. This basic pattern is repeated in three dimensions to generate the entire crystal. The smallest repeating structural unit of a crystalline solid is called unit cell.
When the unit cells are stacked together to generate the crystal, each unit cell shares its faces, edges and corners with neighbouring unit cells. It is important to understand that the geometric shape of a unit cell is same as that of the macroscopic crystal. For example, if the crystal has cubic shape the unit cell will also have its constituent particles arranged to form a tiny cube.
