A solid of ions or atoms arranged in an orderly three-dimensional pattern

Real World Example

Imagine trying to fit all your clothes into a suitcase for a trip, but they only fit if folded neatly in a specific order. This is similar to how a crystal is formed, where ions or atoms need to be arranged in a precise, orderly three-dimensional pattern to fit together perfectly. Just like the suitcase requires careful organization to maximize space and ensure everything fits without chaos, a crystal relies on a structured arrangement of its components to maintain its solid form and stability.
