A crystal has unit cell parameters a=b=c and α=β=γ=90∘. The crystal system is
Aorthorhombic
Btetragonal
Chexagonal
Drhombohedral
Answer: B
Two equal edges, one different edge and all right angles define the tetragonal system. Orthorhombic has three unequal edges, hexagonal has γ=120∘ and rhombohedral has equal edges with equal non-right angles.
