What Are the Different Crystalline Structures

Each crystal lattice is defined by a crystal system. In three-dimensions, there are seven crystal systems: triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, hexagonal, rhombohedral, tetragonal, and cubic. These collection of systems are called the Bravais lattices.
