The smallest part of the crystal lattice has all the properties of the entire crystal, this is called:
Correct answer: B. Unit cell
- A. Unit.
- B. Unit cell
- C. Unit crystal.
- D. All of these options are correct.
Explanation
A 'unit cell' is the smallest group of atoms that has the overall symmetry of a crystal, and from which the entire lattice can be built up by repetition in three dimensions.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
