1.

Distinguish between (i) Hexagonal and monoclinic unit cells. (ii) Face-centred and end-centred unit cells.

Answer»

Solution : For hexagonal unit cell, a =B `ne`C,`alpha=BETA=90^@, gamma= 120^@`
For monoclinic unit cell, `a ne b ne c , alpha = gamma = 90^@,beta ne =90^@`
(ii) A face-centred unit cell has ONE constituent particle present at the centre of each face in addition to the particles present at the CORNERS .
An end-face centred has one constituent particle each at the centre of any two opposite faces in addition to the particles present at the corners
