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=bc,a=b\ne c, ,and the angles are all 90i.eα=β=γ=90.90^{\circ} i.e \alpha=\beta=\gamma=90^{\circ}. Also
it is a body- centered lattice i.e. The Bravais notation is I.
\therefore The Bravais lattice is Tetragonal-I
