The smallest part of a crystal lattice showing all the properties of a crystal is called the _.
Correct answer: B. Unit cell
- A. Crystallite
- B. Unit cell
- C. Unit crystal
- D. Monomer
Explanation
The unit cell is also known as the arrangement of the molecules that results in the shape of the crystalline substance. For example, in NaCl, Na and Cl are responsible for the arrangement of the lattice as well as the chemical properties of the lattice.

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.
