Question

Provide an answer for Part "d" only. 

In the Spherical Cluster Approximation, a cluster is modeled as a sphere with the volume of the
cluster assumed equal to the number of atoms N in the cluster multiplied with the volume of
one atom. Using this model, derive expressions for:
(a) the radius of the cluster, Rc in terms of the radius of an atom, Ra.
(b) the surface area of the cluster, Sc, in terms of the surface area of an atom, Sa.
(c) the number of surface atoms, Ns (assume that this is equal to the surface area of the
cluster divided by the cross sectional area of an atom)
(d) The fraction of atoms on the surface.
