Orthorhombically
Orthorhombically refers to a geometric and crystallographic classification describing objects or structures that exhibit orthorhombic symmetry. This symmetry is characterized by three mutually perpendicular axes of unequal length, which define the crystal lattice or shape of certain materials. In crystallography, an orthorhombic system is one of the seven crystal systems, alongside cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, triclinic, hexagonal, and trigonal.
In the orthorhombic system, the unit cell—a fundamental repeating unit in a crystal—has three axes (a, b,
Orthorhombic symmetry is also observed in molecular structures and certain types of molecular crystals, where the
The term "orthorhombic" is derived from Greek roots: *ortho-* (meaning "straight" or "correct") and *rhombic* (referring
