How many parameters are used to characterize a unit cell?(a) Six(b) Three(c) Two(d) NineI have been asked this question in an internship interview.Enquiry is from Solid State topic in section Solid State of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right answer is (a) Six

Easiest explanation: A unit cell is characterized by six parameters i.e. the three COMMON edge LENGTHS a, b, c and three angles between the EDGES that are α, β, γ. These are referred to as inter-axial lengths and angles, respectively. The POSITION of a unit cell can be determined by fractional coordinates along the cell edges.
