Face-centered cubic lattice contains an atom in each of the face of the cube and an atom in each of the corners:
a) Cu atoms per cm3
= 8.49 x 1022 Cu atoms/cm3
There are 8.49 x 1022 Cu atoms per cubic centimeter of Cu
b) Unit cells per 1 cm3 Cu
Cu atoms per unit cell:
4 Cu atoms/ unit cell
The density of solid Cu is 8.96 g/cm3. How many atoms are present per cubic centimeter of Cu?
If a solid, Cu adopts a face-centered cubic unit cell. How many unit cells are present per cubic centimeter of Cu?
What is the volume of a unit cell of this metal?
What is the edge length of a unit cell of Cu?
