What is the total number of different types of unit cells present in triclinic crystal system?
- A 1
- B 2
- C 3
- D 4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 1
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The triclinic crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems in crystallography. In this system, the unit cell is characterized by the least symmetry: all three sides have different lengths, and the angles between them are all different and not \(90^{\circ}\).
Characteristics of the Triclinic System:
- The unit cell has \(\mathbf{a} \neq \mathbf{b} \neq \mathbf{c}\) (all sides are of different lengths),
- The angles between the axes are \(\alpha \neq \beta \neq \gamma\), and all are not \(90^{\circ}\).
There is only one type of unit cell in the triclinic system, as the crystal system has the least symmetry and the cell is uniquely defined by these parameters.
The total number of different types of unit cells present in the triclinic crystal system is 1.
