Aluminum has a face-centered cubic unit cell. How many atoms of Al are present in each unit cell?
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.
Shown below is a representation of the unit cell of the mineral fluorite, CaF. The green spheres represent Ca ions and the blue spheres represent F ions. The calcium ions occupy face-centered cubic positions in the unit cell. The fluoride ions occupy tetrahedral holes in the unit cell. How many formula units of calcium fluoride are present in this unit cell?

- Calculate the percent of volume that is actually occupied by spheres in a body-centered cubic lattice of identical spheres You can do this by first relating the radius of a sphere, r, to the length of an edge of a unit cell, l. (Note that the spheres do not touch along an edge but do touch along a diagonal passing through the body-centered sphere.) Then calculate the volume of a unit cell in terms of r. The volume occupied by spheres equals the number of spheres per unit cell times the volume of a sphere (4r3/3).arrow_forwardThe unit cell of silicon carbide, SiC, is illustrated below.
