Hence two pairs of vectors are perpendicular (meet at right angles), while the third pair makes an angle other than 90°.

Bravais lattices

Two monoclinic Bravais lattices exist: the primitive monoclinic and the base-centered monoclinic.

In the base-centered monoclinic lattice, the primitive cell has the shape of an oblique rhombic prism; it can be constructed because the two-dimensional centered rectangular base layer can also be described
