Q75 / 200 · NEET 2007 · Chemistry

For a cubic crystal structure which one of the following relations indicating the cell characteristics is correct?

  • A
    $a \neq b \neq c$ and $\alpha=\beta=\gamma=90^{\circ}$
  • B
    $a=b=c$ and $\alpha \neq \beta \neq \gamma=90^{\circ}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $a=b=c$ and $\alpha=\beta=\gamma=90^{\circ}$
  • D
    $a \neq b \neq c$ and $\alpha \neq \beta$ and $\gamma \neq 90^{\circ}$

Solution

In a cubic crystal structure $a=b=c, \alpha=\beta=\gamma=90^{\circ}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
