To add the chemistry to the Bravais lattice an identical Basis must be placed on each lattice point.

The orientation of the Basis must be the same at each lattice point.

 

The number of atoms per unit cell is then given by:

 

 
Atoms per cell = (Number of Lattice Points) x (Number of Atoms per Basis)
