This chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into unit cell and crystal lattice structures. It highlights the key differences between the simple cubic unit cell, the body centered cubic structure and the face centered cubic structure in table format. The full version of this video provides the number of atoms per unit cell / coordination number, the atomic packing factor / fractional volume efficiency, and the formulas for the edge length calculation of each unit cell which can be useful to calculate the density of the crystal structure given the atomic radius and vice versa. This video is packed with information.
