"The crystal system represented by a ≠ b ≠ c α=γ=90° β≠90° is called_________." |
Orthorhombic Tetragonal Monoclinic Triclinic |
Monoclinic |
The correct answer is 3. Monoclinic. A monoclinic crystal system is a crystal system where the three axes are not all of equal length and the angles between the axes are not all 90 degrees. In a monoclinic crystal system, two of the axes are perpendicular to each other, but the third axis is not perpendicular to the other two axes. The angles between the axes are α=γ=90° and β≠90°. The other crystal systems are:
