Distinguish between (i) Hexagonal and monoclinic unit cells (ii) Face-centred and end-centred unit cells.
Solution:
(i) (a) Hexagonal unit cell : a = b ≠c α = β = 90°, γ = 120° Examples are graphite, ZnO. (b) Monoclinic unit cell : a ≠b ≠cα = γ = 90°, β ≠90°Examples are , monoclinic S.(ii) (a) Face-centred unit cell : Lattice points are at the corners and centre of each face.No. of atoms per unit cell (b) End-centred unit cell : Lattice points are at the corners and at the centres of two end faces.No. of atoms per unit cell =
