Question

Which of the following primitive cells show the given parameters?

$a \neq b \neq c,\alpha = \beta = \gamma = 90{^\circ}$

• A. Cubic
• B. Tetragonal
• C. Orthorhombic
• D. Hexagonal

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Orthorhombic

Answer 2

In orthorhombic crystal system, $\alpha \neq b \neq c$but axial angles $\alpha,\beta$and $\gamma$are equal and $90{^\circ}.$
