Density of Unit Cell

A unit cell is a three-dimensional structure occupying one, two or more atoms. With the help of dimensions of unit cells, we can evaluate the density of the unit cell. To do so let’s consider a unit cell of edge length ‘a’, therefore the volume of the cell will be ‘a3’. Also, density is defined as the ratio of the mass of unit cell and volume of the unit cell.
So we can write 
Mass of unit cell varies with number of atoms “n” and mass of a single atom “m”. Mathematically mass of unit cell is the product of number of atoms “n” and mass of one atom “m” i.e.

Mass of Unit Cell = n × m

Also from quantitative aspect of atoms, mass of one atom can be written in terms of Avogadro Number ( NA ) and molar mass of atom ( M), that is,

Volume of Unit Cell = a3

Placing the required values in equation 1 we get .Therefore if we know molar mass of atom “M”, number of atoms “n”, the edge length of unit cell “a” we can evaluate the density of unit cell.

With the help of geometry and attributes of unit cells, we can easily evaluate the volume of the unit cell. With volume and mass of atoms, we can also evaluate the density of the unit cell. A crystal lattice is represented in terms of unit cells; we can determine the density of crystal lattices by evaluating the density of unit cells.
