The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options regarding crystal systems is correct, we will analyze each option based on the properties of the respective crystal systems. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Cubic System**: - **Axial Distances**: In a cubic system, all axial distances are equal, i.e., \( a = b = c \). - **Axial Angles**: All axial angles are equal to \( 90^\circ \), i.e., \( \alpha = \beta = \gamma = 90^\circ \). - **Examples**: Common examples include Cu and KCl. - **Conclusion**: The statement in the question is incorrect because it states \( a \neq b \) and \( \beta \neq \gamma \). 2. **Monoclinic System**: - **Axial Distances**: In a monoclinic system, the axial distances are unequal, i.e., \( a \neq b \neq c \). - **Axial Angles**: The angles are such that \( \alpha = \gamma \) and \( \beta \neq 90^\circ \). - **Examples**: Examples include PbCrO2 and PbCrO4. - **Conclusion**: This option is also incorrect as it misrepresents the relationship between the axial angles. 3. **Rhombohedral System**: - **Axial Distances**: In a rhombohedral system, all axial distances are equal, i.e., \( a = b = c \). - **Axial Angles**: The angles are equal, i.e., \( \alpha = \beta = \gamma \), but they are not equal to \( 90^\circ \). - **Examples**: Examples include CaCO3 and NaNO3. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct as it accurately describes the properties of the rhombohedral system. 4. **Triclinic System**: - **Axial Distances**: In a triclinic system, all axial distances are unequal, i.e., \( a \neq b \neq c \). - **Axial Angles**: All angles are unequal, i.e., \( \alpha \neq \beta \neq \gamma \), and none are \( 90^\circ \). - **Examples**: Examples include K2Cr2O7 and CuSO4·5H2O. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect as it does not match the properties of the triclinic system. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Option 3: Rhombohedral**.
