Question:
The crystal form ‘dome’ contains
The crystal form ‘dome’ contains
Updated On: Feb 10, 2025
- two parallel faces related by a 2-fold axis of symmetry
- two non-parallel faces related by a 2-fold axis of symmetry
- two parallel faces related by a mirror plane
- two non-parallel faces related by a mirror plane
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In crystallography, a ”dome” is a crystal form that typically consists of two non-parallel faces related by a mirror plane. This description matches option (D), where the two non-parallel faces are symmetrically related by a mirror plane. The other options describe different symmetry relationships
