Question
The unit cell of a crystal is defined by three vectors a, b, and c, which are mutually perpendicular and a ≠ b ≠ c. The crystal structure is……………a.Tetragonalb.Triclinicc.Orthorhombicd.Monoclinic
Solution
The crystal structure is Orthorhombic.
This is because in an Orthorhombic crystal system, the unit cell is defined by three vectors a, b, and c, which are mutually perpendicular (at 90 degrees to
