The array of points which shows the atoms ions or molecule arrangements in a crystal is called.
Correct answer: B. Crystal lattice
- A. Crystal system
- B. Crystal lattice
- C. Crystal array
- D. Crystallography
Explanation
A lattice is an ordered array of points describing the arrangement of particles that form a crystal. The unit cell of a crystal is defined by the lattice points. The unit cell is the smallest part of a crystal that repeated regularly through translation in three dimensions creates the whole crystal.

About Crystal Lattice
A crystal lattice is the regular three-dimensional arrangement of particles in a crystalline solid. The content includes lattice points, unit cells, coordination number, packing patterns, and the differences among ionic, metallic, molecular and covalent network crystals, which should not be confused with amorphous solids.
