The crystal system for which `a!= b!= c and alpha = beta = gamma = 90^(@)` is said to be

A

Cubic

B

Tetragonal

C

Orthorhombic

D

Hexagonal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In orthorhombic crystal system, `a ne b ne c` but axial angles `alpha, beta ` and `gamma` are equal and `90^@`
