Which one of them belongs to the tetragonal system?
Correct answer: B. Sn
- A. Bi
- B. Sn
- C. Fe
- D. Zn
Explanation
The tetragonal system is a crystal system in which the unit cell of the lattice is a right prism on a square base (a=b). The characteristic symmetry element is a 4-fold axis: A4. There are 7 crystal classes in this system. Zn, Fe and Bi are metallic lattices.

About Crystalline Solids
Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
