If you have a class with biochemists, clearly the area of enzyme kinetics is practically mandatory. If biologists are mixed in with the biochemists, osmotic pressure is an important concept to cover carefully and a concept typically not well covered in general chemistry and in most physical chemistry texts or classes. A quick example what is a 2 Osmolar solution of sodium chloride Such concentration units are used when dispensing various saline solutions in hospitals. What is the origin of the unit A 1 M NaCl solution dissociates into two ions that would double the osmotic pressure of a non dissociating solute. Thus, the 1 M solution of NaCl becomes a 2 Osmolar solution. Other examples abound - the bursting pressure of a cell relates to the osmotic pressure of the serum in which the cell finds itself. 

A crystal is an orderly array of atoms or molecules but, rather than focusing attention on these material units, it is helpful to consider some geometrical constructs that characterize its structure. It is possible to describe the geometry of a crystal in terms of what is called a unit cell a parallelepiped of some characteristic shape that generates the crystal structure when a three-dimensional array of these cells is considered. We then speak of the lattice defined by the intersections of the unit cells on translation through space. Since we are interested in crystal surfaces, we need to consider only the two-dimensional faces of these solids. In two dimensions the equivalent of a unit cell is called a unit mesh, and a net is the two-dimensional equivalent of a lattice. Only four different two-dimensional unit meshes are possible.
