structure.
2. It is the fundamental building block of the crystal lattice
3. He is a French physicist known for his work in crystallography, the
conception of Bravais lattices, and the formulation of Bravais law.
4. It is the most symmetrical one out of the seven crystal system.
5. For particles of the same size, the higher the ___________, the greater the
number of particles in a given volume.
6. It comprises three axes where two are at right angles to each other, and the
third axis is inclined.
II. Enumeration
7-8. Enumerate the 2 types of Unit Cell
9-11. Give the 3 different kinds of those unit cells in which the constituent
particles are present at the corners of the unit cells and some other positions
III. Problem Solving
12. What is the coordination number, if a simple cubic lattice structure
contacts six other atoms?
