Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The crystal lattice parameters for the given crystal is:
\[
\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}: a \neq b \neq c \alpha \neq \beta \neq \gamma \neq 90^{\circ} \\
\mathrm{N} \mathrm{aNO}_{3}: a \neq b \neq C \alpha=\beta=\gamma=90^{\circ} \\
\mathrm{KNO}_{3}: a \neq b \neq C \alpha=\beta=\gamma=90^{\circ} \\
\mathrm{K}, \mathrm{SO}_{4}: a \neq b \neq c \alpha=\gamma=90^{\circ}, \beta \neq 90^{\circ}
\end{array}
