Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.18E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the hexagonal unit cell is called hexagonal even though it is not a six-sided figure is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A unit cell of the crystal is the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms present in the crystal. The unit cell is the smallest and simplest unit of the crystal which on repetition forms an entire crystal. Unit cell can be a cubic unit cell or hexagonal unit cell. The classification of a unit cell depends on the lattice site occupied by the atoms.
