Tetragonal System
The tetragonal crystal system results from stretching a cubic lattice along one of its vectors, so that the cube becomes a rectangular prism with a square base.
Lattice parameters: $a = b \neq c$, and angles $\alpha = \beta = \gamma = 90^\circ$.
Examples: White Tin, Rutile (TiO$_2$).
