A space group is a mathematical classification used in crystallography that describes the symmetries of a crystal structure. Specifically, it combines the symmetries of both the lattice (the periodic arrangement of points in space) and the motif (the group of atoms associated with each lattice point). In other words, a space group encapsulates how a crystal can be transformed into itself through operations like translations, rotations, reflections, and inversions.
