The correct answer is: The unit cell having crystal parameters, a=bc, α=β=90o,γ=120o is hexagonal
A crystal system is hexagonal if its unit cell having a=bc axial ratio and
α=β=90°, γ=120° axial angles. Crystal of AgBr has both Schottky defect and Frenkel defect. Frenkel defect is shown by ionic solid having low coordination number.
