An element with molar mass 2.7xx10^(-2) kg mol^(-1) forms a cubic unit cell with edge length 405 pm. If its density is 2.7xx10^3 kg m^(-3), what is the nature of the cubic unit cell?

Answer»

Solution :`a=405pm = 405xx10^(-12)m`
`d= FRAC{zM}{a^3N} therefore z= frac {da^3N}{M}=4`
Since there are 4 atoms present per UNIT CELL, it is FACE centred cubic unit cell or cep structure.
