Read the following statements (i) first seven pairs of ribs are called true ribs or vertebrochondral ribs. (ii) A rib has two articulation surfaces on its dorsal end and is hence called bicephalic. (iii) Pelvic girdle consists of two coxal bones (iv) Xiphoid process forms the lowermost and manubrium forms the uppermost part of the sternum. Which of these are correct?

In a hexaonal system system of cycstals, a frequently encountered arrangement of atoms is described as a hexagonal prism. Here, the top and bottom of the cell are refular hexagons, and three atoms are sandwiched in between them. A space-cilling model of this structure, called hexagonal close-paked is constituted of a sphere on a flat surface surrounded in the same plane by six identical spheres as closely as possible. Three spherres are then placed overt the first layer so that they toych each other and represent the second layer so that they toych each other and present the second layer. Each one of the three spheres touches three spheres of the bottom layer. Finally, the second layer is convered with a third layer identical to the bottom layer in relative position. Assume the radius of every sphere to be r . The number of atom in this hcp unit cell is

In hexagonal systems of crystals, a frequently encountered arrangement of atoms is described as a hexagonal prism. Here, the top and bottom of the cell are regular hexagons and three atoms are sandwiched in between them. A space-filling model of this structure, called hexagonal close-packed (HCP), is constituted of a sphere on a flat surface surrounded in the same plane by six identical spheres as closely as possible. Three spheres are then placed over the first layer so that they touch each other and represent the second layer. Each one of these three spheres touches three spheres of the bottom layer. Finally, the second layer is covered with a third layer that is identical to the bottom layer in relative position. Assume radius of every sphere to be ‘r’. The volume of this HCP unit cell is

The regular three dimensional arrangement of points in a crystal is known as crystal lattice and the smallest repeating pattern in the lattice is called unit cell. The unit cells are characterised by the edge lengths a, b, c and the angles between them alpha, beta and gamma respectively. Based on this, there are seven crystal systems. In a cubic unit cell: a=b=c and alpha = beta=gamma=90^(@) The number of points in simple, body centred and face centred cubic cells are 1,2 and 4 respectively In both the hcp and ccp of spheres, the number of tetrahedral voids per sphere is two while the octahedral voids is one. A double triangular void surrounded by three spheres above and three spheres below is called
