Answer:
The correct answer is d) boron
Explaination:
Boron has a unique crystal structure in which 12-atom icosahedra are arranged in a crystalline lattice, giving it a high degree of symmetry.
Icosahedral structure
- The icosahedral structure is a type of crystal structure that has 20 identical and symmetrical faces, each of which is an equilateral triangle.
- This structure is often exhibited by certain metallic alloys, such as those made of aluminum, nickel, and cobalt, but it is also observed in certain non-metallic elements, including boron.
Boron
- BoronBoron is a hard and brittle material with a dark brown to black color.
- It is used in the production of borosilicate glass, which has low thermal expansion and is used in laboratory equipment and cooking utensils.
