Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.1Q
To determine
The difference between a unit cell and a single crystal.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
A unit cell is the smallest group of the atom that shows the characteristics lattice structure of a particular metal, while a single structure is made up of a large number of unit cells. The structure is the arrangement of the atoms in any specific way.
The unit cell is the smallest group of the atom whereas, the single structure contains a large number of unit cells.

- 3 Copper Unit Cell Uniqueness Here's a weird way to describe the structure of copper: Cu falls into the tetragonal crystal system with a = 0.256 nm, c = 0.362 nm = a√√2, and atoms located at 000 and. Its density is 8.94 g/cc at room temperature. (a) Draw a few adjacent units cells of the structure as described in this "weird" way. You should be able to see that there is a much more convenient way to describe the structure. What is it? (The point I wish to make is that there are many different unit cells that can be used to describe any given crystal, so we usually choose the one that is easiest to visualize.) (b) Calculate the radius of a copper atom using the above information.
