Question
For a certain crystal, the unit cell axial lengths are found to be a = 5.62 Å, b = 7.41 Å and c = 10.13 Å. The three coordinate axes are mutually perpendicular. The crystal system to which the crystal belongs is
Options
A.tetragonal
B.orthorhombic
C.monoclinic
D.cubic
Solution
a ≠ b≠ c, α = β = γ = 90° ⇒ Orthorhombic
