Chapter 12, Problem 22E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The kind of primitive lattice formed is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The cubic lattice is made up of lattice points. Lattice points are basically building blocks of crystal lattice and are known as unit cells. In the primitive lattice the unit cells are present on eight corners and all the angles are right angles. There are total seven type of crystal systems are present. All the designated as,

To determine: The kind of new primitive lattice formed on pushing the primitive cubic lattice in downward direction.
