### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Space Lattice**: A space lattice, also known as a crystal lattice, is a three-dimensional arrangement of points that represents the positions of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline solid. Each point in the lattice corresponds to one of these particles. 2. **Characteristics of Space Lattice**: - **Pattern of Points**: The arrangement of these points is periodic, meaning it repeats in space. - **Unit Cell**: The smallest repeating unit of the lattice is called the unit cell. It defines the entire structure of the crystal when repeated in three dimensions. - **Lattice Points**: Each point in the lattice is referred to as a lattice point, which represents the position of a particle (atom, ion, or molecule). ...
