All atoms have a crystalline structure, even Cerium. Ok but how do we know what is the crystal structure of an atom of Ce?
In the case of Cerium the crystalline structure is Cubic: Face centered. There is a lot of cool facts about Cerium that people don't know. Let me walk you through...
Learn more about the atomic number.
Learn more about the atomic mass.
Year: 1803

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. "Crystal Structure of Cerium (Ce) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
