What is the total number of different types of unit cells present in triclinic crystal system?
Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
A. 1
Step-by-step solution
The triclinic crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems in crystallography. In this system, the unit cell is characterized by the least symmetry: all three sides have different lengths, and the angles between them are all different and not 90^ . Characteristics of the Triclinic System: - The unit cell has a b c (all sides are of different lengths), - The angles between the axes are , and all are not 90^ . There is only one type of unit cell in the triclinic system, as the crystal system has the least symme
