The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given crystal systems does not provide the correct description of axial lengths and angles, we will analyze each system based on their definitions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Axial Lengths and Angles**: - Axial lengths are represented as \( a, b, c \). - Axial angles are represented as \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \). 2. **Analyzing Each Crystal System**: - **Hexagonal System**: - Given: \( a = b \neq c \) and \( \alpha = \beta = 90^\circ, \gamma = 120^\circ \). - This is correct as per the definition of the hexagonal system. - **Tetragonal System**: - Given: \( a = b \neq c \) and \( \alpha = \beta = \gamma = 90^\circ \). - This is also correct according to the tetragonal system description. - **Monoclinic System**: - Given: \( a \neq b \neq c \) and \( \alpha = \beta = \gamma \neq 90^\circ \). - This is incorrect. In the monoclinic system, \( a \neq b \neq c \) is correct, but the angles should be \( \alpha = \beta \neq 90^\circ \) and \( \gamma \neq 90^\circ \) (not equal to each other). - **Cubic System**: - Given: \( a = b = c \) and \( \alpha = \beta = \gamma = 90^\circ \). - This is correct as per the cubic system definition. 3. **Conclusion**: - The monoclinic system does not provide the correct description of axial lengths and angles as it incorrectly states that \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \) are equal. ### Final Answer: The system that does not give the correct description of axial lengths and axial angles is **Monoclinic (Option C)**. ---
