Which of the following crystal system has four types of unit cells?
Which of the following crystal system has four types of unit cells?
Options
- ACubic
- BOrthorhombic
- CTetragonal
- DMonoclinic
Correct answer
B. Orthorhombic
Step-by-step solution
The seven crystal systems and the number of Bravais lattices they possess are as follows:
Cubic: (Primitive, Body-centered, Face-centered)
Tetragonal: (Primitive, Body-centered)
Orthorhombic: (Primitive, Body-centered, Face-centered, End-centered)
Hexagonal: (Primitive)
Rhombohedral: (Primitive)
Monoclinic: (Primitive, End-centered)
Triclinic: (Primitive)
The orthorhombic crystal system is the only one that has all four types of unit cells.
Answer: Orthorhombic
Cubic: (Primitive, Body-centered, Face-centered)
Tetragonal: (Primitive, Body-centered)
Orthorhombic: (Primitive, Body-centered, Face-centered, End-centered)
Hexagonal: (Primitive)
Rhombohedral: (Primitive)
Monoclinic: (Primitive, End-centered)
Triclinic: (Primitive)
The orthorhombic crystal system is the only one that has all four types of unit cells.
Answer: Orthorhombic
