No, a Diac cannot trigger an SCR because when the Diac turns ON, the current through the Diac is around 9 mA. The gate threshold current of an SCR is typically 5 mA, which is less. So the SCR can get damaged due to this high gate current.
Latching Current is the minimum current needed on the gate to fire or trigger an SCR.
It means the minimum current can trigger the SCR to operate.
A UJT is a special type of diode with a long resistive base having 2 contacts and acting as a voltage divider. The diode junction is created at a point on this base selected to set the trigger voltage of the UJT at which it will conduct. Therefore the equivalent circuit has a diode because the actual circuit has a diode.
If the intrinsic standoff ratio (η) of a Unijunction Transistor (UJT) is doubled, it will alter the operating characteristics of the device. Specifically, a higher η indicates a greater proportion of the total voltage across the device that can be used for triggering the UJT. This will result in a wider range of trigger voltages and may affect the stability and sensitivity of the device in applications such as oscillators or timing circuits. Overall, the performance and response characteristics of the UJT will change, potentially allowing for different operational behavior in electronic circuits.
The SCR's gate electrode is used to turn the SCR on, i.e. fire it.
thyristor can be scr or triac scr is strictly dc a triac is back to back scr's with a common gate two scr's back to back can be gated independently scrs cost less than triacs an scr can be combined with a full wave bridge to make an equivalent to a triac but this gives an additional 1.5V forward voltage drop
Even if the current is varying,as long as the current reaches the value required to trigger the SCR, it will snap into operation. The SCR will remain in operation until the current through it drops to a value below the holding current.

One major disadvantage of a free-running oscillator is that it may not synchronize properly with the AC line frequency, causing timing errors and potential malfunction of the SCR or TRIAC. This can lead to inefficiencies and erratic behavior in the circuit.
