Question

Write all the symmetry elements of a simple cubic structure

Answer 1

Answer:

Such an axis of symmetry is called a 360/120 = 3-fold axis of symmetry. Since there are four body diagonals in a cube, it has four 3-fold axis of rotazion (see the figure).

Answer 2

Answer:

Total elements of symmetry of a simple cubic structure= 23

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of planes, axes and centre of symmetries possessed by a crystal is termed as elements of symmetry.

The number of axis of symmetry is equal to 13

Plane of symmetry (3 + 6) = 9

Centre of symmetry (1) = 1

Total symmetry =23
