Question
Chemistry Question on The solid state
Assign the Bravais lattice type of the following unit cell structure.
A
Cubic I
B
Orthorhombic I
C
Tetragonal I
D
Monoclinic
Answer
Tetragonal I
Explanation
Solution
In the given lattice the relation between the sides is a=b=c, ,and the angles are all 90∘i.eα=β=γ=90∘. Also
it is a body- centered lattice i.e. The Bravais notation is I.
∴ The Bravais lattice is Tetragonal-I
