Q111 / 200 · MHT CET - Medical 2026 (21 April Shift 1) · Chemistry

Identify from following crystal system that its unit cell possesess edge length $a = b = c$ and angle between these axes $\alpha = \beta = \gamma = 90^\circ$.

  • Correct answer
    A
    Cubic
  • B
    Orthorhombic
  • C
    Tetragonal
  • D
    Monoclinic

Solution

For a cubic crystal system, all three edge lengths are equal and all three axial angles are equal to $90^\circ$.

Thus, $a = b = c$ and $\alpha = \beta = \gamma = 90^\circ$.

This corresponds to the cubic crystal system.

Answer: Cubic

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