A crystalline structure is any structure of ions, molecules, or atoms that are held together in an ordered, three-dimensional arrangement. Crystalline structure is one of two types of structural ordering of atoms, the other being the amorphous structure. The key difference in the crystalline and amorphous structure is the ordering of the structure. Crystalline structure can be thought of as the highest level of order that can exist in a material, while an amorphous structure is irregular and lacks the repeating pattern of a crystal lattice. Simply, the crystal structure can be thought of as a small box with atoms, molecules, or ions located in specific areas of the box.
