An element with molar mass 27 g/mol forms cubic unit cell with edge length of 405pm. If density of the element is 2.7g/cm³. What is the nature of cubic unit cell?
- Molar mass of the given element,m = 27 g/mol= 0.027 kg/mol
- Edge length,a = 4.05 × 10^-10m
- Nature of the cubic unit cell = ?
where, z is the number of atoms in the unit cell and Na is the avogadro number.
z =
✏ After calculating, we get the value of z as,
z = 4
✏ Since, the number of atoms in the unit cell is 4, the given cubic unit cell has an fcc structure.
