MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Which crystal system is characterized by three equal lengths and all angles measuring 90 degrees?

Isometric (Cubic)

Monoclinic

Tetragonal

Orthorhombic

Answer explanation

The isometric (cubic) crystal system is defined by three equal lengths and all angles measuring 90 degrees, making it the correct choice for this question.

2.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

In the tetragonal crystal system, how does it differ from the cubic system?

One dimension is lengthened

All sides are of different lengths

All angles are not 90 degrees

It has a hexagonal base

Answer explanation

In the tetragonal crystal system, one dimension is lengthened compared to the cubic system, where all sides are equal. This elongation creates a rectangular prism shape, distinguishing it from the cubic structure.

What is a key characteristic of the orthorhombic crystal system?

All sides are equal

It has a hexagonal base

All three dimensions are of different lengths

All angles are not 90 degrees

Answer explanation

The orthorhombic crystal system is characterized by having three axes of different lengths, which meet at right angles. This distinguishes it from other systems, making 'All three dimensions are of different lengths' the correct choice.

4.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Which crystal system introduces a slight tilt to the cubic shape?

Triclinic

Rhombohedral (Trigonal)

Hexagonal

Monoclinic

Answer explanation

The rhombohedral (trigonal) crystal system introduces a slight tilt to the cubic shape, resulting in a distorted cube where the angles are not 90 degrees, distinguishing it from the perfect cubic structure.

5.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

In the monoclinic crystal system, what is the combination of shapes it contains?

Cubes and hexagons

Hexagons and rhomboids

Rectangles and rhomboids

Triangles and squares

Answer explanation

The monoclinic crystal system is characterized by having two axes of unequal lengths and one axis that is inclined. This results in shapes like rectangles and rhomboids, making 'Rectangles and rhomboids' the correct choice.

6.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

What distinguishes the triclinic crystal system from others?

It has a hexagonal base

All sides and angles are distinct

All angles are 90 degrees

It forms perfect cubes

Answer explanation

The triclinic crystal system is unique because it has no symmetry; all sides and angles are distinct, meaning they can vary in length and degree. This sets it apart from other systems, which often have equal sides or angles.

7.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Which crystal system is easily recognizable by its hexagonal base?

Orthorhombic

Hexagonal

Tetragonal

Rhombohedral (Trigonal)

Answer explanation

The hexagonal crystal system is characterized by a hexagonal base, making it easily recognizable. Other systems like orthorhombic, tetragonal, and rhombohedral do not have this distinct hexagonal shape.
