A crystal structure refers to the orderly arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline material. The arrangement is periodic, meaning that it repeats itself in three-dimensional space, forming a lattice structure. Each point in the lattice represents the position of an atom or a group of atoms, known as a unit cell, which is the smallest repeating unit that can describe the entire crystal structure.
