Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. Simple Cubic Unit Cell
a. Consider one unit cell and assume the length of the side of the cube is "a".
Remember that “a" is the distance between the centers of two adjacent atoms. How
long is “a", the edge of a unit cell, in terms of radius, r, of an atom?
b. A simple cubic cell has the equivalent of only 1 atom. Recall the volume of sphere
with radius, r, is expressed as V = 4/3 r. With this information, find the total
volume of all the spheres in this unit cell, expressed in terms of r. To do this, take
the total number of atoms and multiply it by the volume of one atom, with radius,
r)
c. Find the volume of the entire unit cell including the empty space in terms of r.
Remember for a cube the volume, V=1 xw xh. You already know the edge length
of the side in terms of "r" based in the earlier questions.
d. Find the fraction of the total volume of the cube (which is the unit cell's volume) is
occupied by the atoms. Express this as percent and write your answer in the
summary table.
