    The crystal system of a compound with unit cell dimensions a = 0.387nm, b = 0.387nm, and c = 0.504 nm and \[\alpha =\beta =90{}^\circ  and \gamma =120{}^\circ \]is:

    A) Cubic     

    B)                           Hexagonal

    C) Orthorhombic    

    D) Rhombohedral

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Because \[\operatorname{a}=b\ne c\,\,and\,\,\alpha =\beta =90{}^\circ , \lambda =120{}^\circ \] for cubic, \[\operatorname{a}=b=c,\text{ }\alpha =\beta =\lambda =90{}^\circ \] For orthorhombic, \[\operatorname{a}\ne b\ne c,\text{ }\alpha =\beta =\lambda =90{}^\circ \] For rhombohedral \[\operatorname{a}=b=c,\text{ }\alpha =\beta =\lambda =90{}^\circ \] These are axial lengths and angles.
