How many parameters are used to characterize a unit cell? Correct Answer Six

A unit cell is characterized by six parameters i.e. the three common edge lengths a, b, c and three angles between the edges that are α, β, γ. These are referred to as inter-axial lengths and angles, respectively. The position of a unit cell can be determined by fractional coordinates along the cell edges.
