1) My teacher said that to analyze the properties of entire crystalline solid, we just need to analyze the properties of a unit cell, which is the smallest repeating unit of a crystalline solid.
2) But crystalline solids are known to be anisotropic, i.e. they have different properties in different directions.
Are not these two statements contradicting?
