Total number of planes, axes and centre of symmetries in a crystal is termed as a) elements of symmetry (b) symmetries c) symmetry operations

Short Answer

Expert verified
The correct answer is (a) elements of symmetry

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the Terms

Understand the mentioned terms: planes of symmetry, axis of symmetry and centre of symmetry. In crystallography, these are essential elements contributing to the symmetrical characteristic of a crystal.
02

Recognize the Correct Answer

Recognize the correct definitions. The total number of planes, axes, and center of symmetries in a crystal essentially constitute the elements of symmetry in the crystal structure.
