The crystal system is a classification of crystals based on their internal symmetry and geometric arrangement. In crystallography, scientists categorize crystals into seven distinct systems according to their unit cells—the smallest repeating unit that reflects the symmetry and structure of the entire crystal. The seven crystal systems are: 1. **Cubical (or Isometric)**: Characterized by three equal axes at right angles to each other. Example: salt (sodium chloride).
