Question:

Match List-I with List-II

List-I

List-II

(A) Cubic cell

(I) \(\alpha = \beta = \gamma = 90^o\)

(B) Monoclinic cell

(II) \(\alpha = \beta = 90^o, \gamma ≠ 120^o\)

(C) Triclinic cell

(III) \(\alpha = \gamma = 90^o, \beta ≠ 90^o\)

(D) Hexagonal cell

(IV) \(\alpha ≠ \beta ≠ \gamma ≠ 90^o\)

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV

A-III, B-I,C-II, D-IV

A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II

Correct Answer:

A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II

Explanation:

The correct answer is (4) A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II.

The crystal cell types (List-I) with their corresponding angles between cell edges (List-II) once more:
(A) Cubic cell - (I) $(\alpha = \beta = \gamma = 90^\circ)$
In a cubic cell, all three angles between the cell edges are equal, and they are each 90 degrees.
(B) Monoclinic cell - (III) $(\alpha = \beta = 90^\circ, \gamma \neq 120^\circ)$
In a monoclinic cell, two of the angles between the cell edges are 90 degrees (right angles), but the third angle, $\gamma$, is not equal to 120 degrees.
(C) Triclinic cell - (IV) $(\alpha \neq \beta \neq \gamma \neq 90^\circ)$
In a triclinic cell, none of the angles between the cell edges are equal, and none of them are equal to 90 degrees.
(D) Hexagonal cell - (II) $(\alpha = \beta = 90^\circ, \gamma = 120^\circ)$
In a hexagonal cell, two of the angles between the cell edges are 90 degrees (right angles), and the third angle, $\gamma$, is equal to 120 degrees.

So, as you can see, the correct matching of List-I with List-II is as follows:

(A) Cubic cell - (I)
(B) Monoclinic cell - (III)
(C) Triclinic cell - (IV)
(D) Hexagonal cell - (II)

This matching correctly associates each crystal cell type with its corresponding set of angles between the cell edges as defined in the table you provided.
