Answer to Problem 12.28QP

Solution

The given data of molybdenum atom is not consistent with the data of a simple cubic unit cell.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The given density of crystalline form of molybdenum (d) is 10.28g/cm3

The given radius of molybdenum (r) is 139pm

As 1pm=1010cm

Then the given radius will be written as 139×1010cm

The data of molybdenum unit cell is consistent with the data of simple cubic unit cell or not will be identified by comparing the values of given density with the calculated density value for simple cubic unit cell.

Density is calculated by the formula,

Density(d)=Mass(m)Volume(V)d=mV (1)

Where,

  • d is the density of the substance.
  • m is the mass of the substance.
  • V is the volume of the substance.

The density of simple cubic unit cell is calculated by calculating the value of mass and volume.

The value of atomic mass of molybdenum (A) is 95.94g .

The standard value of Avogadro’s number, NA is, 6.022×1023atoms .

The mass of simple cubic unit cell is calculated by the formula,

m=nANA (2)

Where,

  • n is the number of atoms per unit cell.
  • A is the atomic mass of an atom.
  • NA is Avogadro’s number.

Substitute the formula of mass, obtained in equation (2) in equation (1)

d=[nANA]1V (3)

In simple cubic unit cell there is one lattice point on each corner of the cubic unit cell that is there are 8 lattice points.

The number of atoms (n) is calculated by the formula,

n=18×(Numberoflatticepoints)

Substitute the value of the number of lattice points in the above expression.

n=18×8=1

Thus, the value of n is 1 . Therefore, one atom is present in one unit cell of simple cubic.

The volume is calculated by the formula,

Volume (V)=l3 (4)

Where,

  • l is the edge length of the unit cell

The value of edge length of a simple cubic unit cell is calculated by the formula,

l=2r

Where,

  • r is the radius.

The given radius of molybdenum atoms (r) is 139×1010cm .

Substitute this value of radius in the edge length formula.

l=2rl=2×139×1010cm=278×1010cm

Substitute the value of l in equation (4).

Volume(V)=l3V=(278×1010cm)3V=2.15×1023cm3

Substitute the values of n , A , NA and V in equation (3).

d=[nANA]1Vd=[1atom×95.94g6.022×1023atoms]12.15×1023cm3d=[1atom×95.94g6.022×1023atoms×2.15×1023cm3]d=7.41g/cm3

Thus, the calculated value of density of simple cubic unit cell is 7.41g/cm3 .

This does not match the density of molybdenum unit cells that is 10.28g/cm3 .

Hence, it is proven that the given data of molybdenum atom is not consistent with the data of a simple cubic unit cell.

Answer to Problem 12.28QP

Solution

The given data of molybdenum atom is not consistent with the data of a body-centered cubic unit cell.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The BCC structure consists of atoms at each corner of the cubic unit cell and one atom at the center of the unit cell. There are 8 corners, that is eight lattice points with 1 atoms per corner and 1 atom in the body center.

The number of atoms present is calculated by the formula,

Numberofatoms=18×(Numberoflatticepoints)+1

The number of atoms present is,

8×18+1=2

Substitute the value of the number of lattice points in the above expression.

Numberofatoms=18×(Numberoflatticepoints)+1=18×(8)+1=2

Thus, there are 2 atoms are present in one unit cell.

Hence, n=2 .

The value of edge length of a body-centered cubic unit cell is calculated by the formula,

r=l34

The standard value of 34=0.4330

Rearrange the above formula to calculate edge length.

l=r0.4330

The given radius of molybdenum atoms (r) is 139×1010cm .

Substitute this value of radius in the above expression.

l=139×1010cm0.4330=321×1010cm

Substitute the value of l in equation (4).

Volume(V)=l3V=(321×1010cm)3V=3.31×1023cm3

Substitute the values of n , A , NA and V in equation (3).

d=[nANA]1Vd=[2atoms×95.94g6.022×1023atoms]13.31×1023cm3d=[2atoms×95.94g6.022×1023atoms×3.31×1023cm3]d=9.63g/cm3

Thus, the calculated value of density of body-centered cubic unit cell is 9.63g/cm3 .

This does not match the density of molybdenum unit cells that is 10.28g/cm3

Hence, it is proven that the given data of molybdenum atom is not consistent with the data of a body-centered cubic unit cell

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If the given data of molybdenum atom is consistent with the data of a face-centered cubic unit cell or not.

Answer to Problem 12.28QP

Solution

The given data of molybdenum atom is consistent with the data of a face-centered cubic unit cell.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The FCC structure consists of atoms at each of the 8 corner in addition to the atoms present at all faces of the cube. The atoms that are present at the face of the FCC structure are shared by two adjacent unit cells which provide 12 atom to one of the unit cell.

The number of atoms in FCC structure is calculated by the formula,

Numberofatoms=18×(Numberofcorneratoms)+12×(Numberofatomsofthefaces)

Substitute the required values in the above expression.

Numberofatoms=18×(Numberofcorneratoms)+12×(Numberofatomsofthefaces)=(18×8)+(12×6)=4

Thus, there are 4   atoms are present in one unit cell.

Hence, n=4

The value of edge length of a face-centered cubic unit cell is calculated by the formula,

r=l24

The standard value of 24=0.3536

Rearrange the above formula to calculate edge length.

l=r0.3536

The given radius of molybdenum atoms (r) is 139×1010cm .

Substitute this value of radius in the edge length formula as,

l=139×1010cm0.3536=393.1×1010cm

Substitute the value of l in equation (4).

Volume(V)=l3V=(393.1×1010cm)3V=6.10×1023cm3

Substitute the values of n , A , NA and V in equation (3).

d=[nANA]1Vd=[4atoms×95.94g6.022×1023atoms]16.10×1023cm3d=[4atoms×95.94g6.022×1023atoms×6.10×1023cm3]d=10.45g/cm3

Thus, the calculated value of density of face-centered cubic unit cell is 10.45g/cm3 .

This matches approximately with the density of molybdenum unit cells that is 10.28g/cm3 .

Hence, it is proven that the given data of molybdenum atom is consistent with the data of a face-centered cubic unit cell.

Conclusion

The given data of molybdenum atom is consistent with the data of a face-centered cubic unit cell.
