**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Unit Cell**: A unit cell is defined as the smallest repeating unit of a crystal lattice. It serves as the fundamental building block of the crystal structure. 2. **Crystal Lattice**: The arrangement of atoms, molecules, or ions in three-dimensional space within a crystal is referred to as a crystal lattice. The entire crystal is composed of numerous unit cells arranged in a specific pattern. 3. **Types of Unit Cells**: There are different types of unit cells based on their arrangement: - **Primitive Unit Cell**: Contains lattice points only at the corners. ...
