    Distinguish between (i) Hexagonal and monoclinic crystal system. (ii) Face-centred and end-centred unit cell.  

    Answer:

    (i) (a) In hexagonal crystal system, the axial distances  but in monoclinic crystal system, the three axial distances are altogether different i.e. . (b) In hexagonal crystal system, axial angles are  whereas in monoclinic type, these are (c) Graphite, ZnO are the examples of hexagonal crystal systems while monoclinic sulphur,  are the examples of monoclinic crystal system. (ii) (a) In addition to the atom at the corner, in face centred unit cell, an atom is present at the centre of each of the six faces of the unit cell whereas in end-centred unit cell two particles are located at the centre of any two opposite faces. (b) Number of atoms per unit cell in face-centred unit cell is 4 but in end-centred unit cell it is 2.
