B. A crystal lattice forms from several unit cells that overlap and merge.

C. A crystal lattice is a very large unit cell.

D. A crystal lattice is a repeating array of unit cells.

crystal structure is a description of the ordered arrangement of atoms, ions or molecules in a crystalline material.[3] Ordered structures occur from the intrinsic nature of the constituent particles to form symmetric patterns that repeat along the principal directions of three-dimensional space in matter.
