In the case of the dot product, we get the correct answer, which is 109.5 degree, but if we use the cross product, the answer might be 70.5 degree. Why?arrow_forwardA crystalline solid consists of atoms stacked up in a repeating lattice structure. Consider a crystal (a). The atoms reside at the corners of cubes of side L=0.200nm. One piece of evidence for the regular arrangement of atoms comes from the flat surfaces along which a crystal separates, or cleaves, when it is broken. Suppose this crystal cleaves along a face diagonal as shown in figure (b). Calculate the spacing d between two adjacent atomic planes that separate when the crystal cleaves.arrow_forward
