Q- Name the parameters that characterise a unit cell. Answer- Edges length (a, b, and c) and angles between edges (α, β, and γ) are the parameters that characterise a unit cell. You can understand through this proof As we know that unit cells are a portion of crystal lattice which leads to crystal structure … Read more
