Please consider the probability density function graphs for the beta distribution, given in the link.

For alpha=beta=2, the density is unimodal, which is to say, it has a single maximum.

In contrast, for alpha=beta=0.5, the density is bimodal; it has two maxima.

Is unimodal a normal distribution?

It may be or may not be; however a normal distribution is unimodal.


In a perfectly symmetrical unimodal distribution is the mode and the median the same as the mean?

No, it is in general not true - for example for uniform distribution on [0,1] every number in the interval is a mode, but the mean is 1/2. The correct answer would be that a symmetric unimodal distribution has one mode equal to the mean (but may have modes elsewhere).
