A metal crystallizes with a face-centered cubic lattice. The edge of the unit cell is 408 pm. Calculate the number of atoms in the unit cell and diameter of the metal atom.

Respuesta :

Answer:288 pm

Explanation:

Number of atoms(s) for face centered unit cell -

Lattice points: at corners and face centers of unit cell.

For face centered cubic (FCC), z=4.

- whereas

For an FCC lattices √2a =4r =2d

Therefore d = a/√2a = 408pm/√2a= 288pm

I think with this step by step procedure the, the answer was clearly stated.
