The concept of lattice comes along with the concept of crystals. Crystalline solids have definite
patterns which arise due to the definite patterns in which the different atoms of the crystals
are placed. The definite geometric shapes of crystals are possible due to the formation of a
lattice with a series of atoms arranged in that specific pattern to give a well-designed three-
dimensional structure. The repetitive pattern of the lattice units forms the actual crystal. The
atoms can also be substituted with ions or molecules. Lattice points are the points of finding
the constituent atoms of the crystal.
