= List of space groups
{wiki=List_of_space_groups}
A list of space groups refers to a classification of the symmetrical arrangements in three-dimensional space that describe how atoms are organized in crystals. These groups are essential in the field of crystallography and solid-state physics because they provide a systematic way to categorize and understand the symmetry properties of crystalline materials. Space groups combine the concepts of point groups and translation operations.
