The correct Answer is:
To determine the cell parameters of a triclinic crystal system, we need to analyze the characteristics of this system based on its edge lengths and angles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cell Parameters**: - In a crystal system, the cell parameters consist of three edge lengths (a, b, c) and three angles (α, β, γ) that define the geometry of the unit cell. 2. **Characteristics of Triclinic System**: - The triclinic crystal system is defined by the following properties: - All three edge lengths are unequal: \( a \neq b \neq c \). - All three angles are also unequal: \( \alpha \neq \beta \neq \gamma \). - None of the angles are equal to 90 degrees: \( \alpha \neq 90^\circ \), \( \beta \neq 90^\circ \), \( \gamma \neq 90^\circ \). 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option A**: States that all edge lengths are equal and all angles are equal to 90 degrees. This describes a cubic system, not triclinic. **(Incorrect)** - **Option B**: States that \( a = b \) but \( a \neq c \) and all angles are equal to 90 degrees. This describes a tetragonal system, not triclinic. **(Incorrect)** - **Option C**: States that \( a \neq b \neq c \) and \( \alpha \neq \beta \neq \gamma \), with none equal to 90 degrees. This correctly describes the triclinic system. **(Correct)** 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct option that describes the cell parameters of a triclinic crystal system is Option C: \( a \neq b \neq c \) and \( \alpha \neq \beta \neq \gamma \), with all angles not equal to 90 degrees.
