A solid of ions or atoms arranged in an orderly three-dimensional pattern
Real World Example
Imagine trying to organize a bookshelf where every book has a specific spot, and you can't just place them randomly. This is similar to how atoms or ions are arranged in a crystal, where each particle has a precise position in a three-dimensional pattern. Just as a well-organized bookshelf allows you to find and access each book easily, the orderly arrangement of particles in a crystal ensures structural stability and predictability in its properties.
