In mineralogy and crystallography, crystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms or molecules in a crystalline liquid or solid. A crystal structure is composed of a pattern, a set of atoms arranged in a particular way, and a lattice exhibiting long-range order and symmetry. Patterns are located upon the points of a lattice, which is an array of points repeating periodically in three dimensions. The points can be thought of as forming identical tiny boxes, called unit cells, that fill the space of the lattice. The lengths of the edges of a unit cell and the angles between them are called the lattice parameters. The symmetry properties of the crystal are embodied in its space group. The crystal structure of a material or the arrangement of atoms within a given type of crystal structure can be described in terms of its unit cell. The unit cell is a small box containing one or more atoms, a spatial arrangement of atoms. The unit cells stacked in three-dimensional space describe the bulk arrangement of atoms of the crystal. The crystal structure has a three dimensional shape. The unit cell is given by its lattice parameters, the length of the cell edges and the angles between them, while the positions of the atoms inside the unit cell are described by the set of atomic positions (xi , yi , zi) measured from a lattice point. .
When a unit in a crystal lattice has lattice points only at its corners ,it is called a simple or primitive unit cell. There are seven types of primitive unit cells among crystal.They are 1. Cubic unit cell 2. Tetragonal unit cell 3. Orthorhombic unit cell 4. Monoclinic unit cell 5. Rhombohedral unit cell 6. Triclinic unit cell 7. Hexagonal unit cell And, the smallest repeating unit in space lattice which when repeated over and over again produces the complete space lattice.This is called unit cell. In easy form , The unit cell which do not contain any interior point are called primitive unit cell.

face centre cubic crystal has eight atoms in each corner and one atom in the centre of cubic unit cell.while hexagonal close packed structuree has only six atoms in corners but no in the centre of cubic cell
is the unit cell
I assume you mean a crystalline solid. A crystal is a special type of solid, in that it is composed of a certain basic unit called a "unit cell". Each unit cell essentially has the same composition of protein, solvent, etc. (or whatever the crystal is composed of). It also has certain dimensions (angles of the unit cell). The crystal can belong to one of several groups called "space groups", defined by the inherent symmetry of the crystal.
"There are 6 atoms in the hcp unit cell. The hex shape has six atoms at the points that are direct translations of each other making 1 atom for the top hex and one atom for the bottom hex. That's 2. The atom in the center of the top and center of the bottom are translations giving 1 more. That's 3. Then there are 3 atoms in the middle region of each cell bringing the total to 6." The answer should depend on how you choose your unit cell. In the primitive hexagonal cell we have 1 atom at each of the corners of the cell (each is "worth" 1/8) and 1 atom within the cell giving us 2 atoms/unit cell. (Note: the 'primitive hexagonal cell' above actually refers to the parallelpiped structure that the hexagonal unit cell consists of: the hexagonal 'unit' -it cannot technically be referred to as a unit cell, because unit cells are the most reduced form of the crystal structure- can be divided into 3 parallelepipeds.)
The unit cell is the fundamental unit of a crystal lattice, it is like the shapes used up to make the tessellations one makes in math class. The unit cell is therefore the subunit of the crystal lattice.
