Examples:

Noun:

• The space lattice of a diamond crystal is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a cubic structure.
• The arrangement of atoms in a salt crystal forms a well-defined space lattice.

Adjective:

• The space lattice structure of the crystal provides its unique physical properties.
• Understanding the space lattice arrangement is crucial in studying crystallography.
