A metal crystallizes in a face-centred cubic (fcc) lattice. A sample of the metal contains atoms. If the density of the metal is , the edge length of the unit cell is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Total volume of the sample
Since the metal crystallizes in an fcc lattice, the number of atoms per unit cell is .
Total number of unit cells in the sample
Volume of one unit cell
Edge length
Converting to picometers:
