How does the atomic arrangement of atoms lead to its crystal structure like was seen in the sample of bronze and gold and Timber atoms?

In mineralogy and crystallography, a crystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms in a crystal. Atomic arrangement of atoms in this kind of structure usually very symmetrical and highly ordered. Causing the component within the structure is so strong and hard to break. A crystal structure is composed of a unit cell, a set of atoms arranged in a particular way; which is periodically repeated in three dimensions on a lattice. Crystal structure would be commonly found in solid compounds.
