Question

How to identify seven primitive unit cells and their possible variations as centered unit cells??

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Different unit cells can be identified by their respective characteristic. Each unit cell has different sets of characteristic such as edges and angle between them. Also, arrangement of constituent particles is different. For eg. if for a unit cell, a=b=c and α=β=γ=90º and also one constituent particle lies at centre of body in addition to particles at corners, then this represent body centred cubic unit cell.
