Question:

An element (atomic mass $100 \,g /\, mol$ ) having $BCC$ structure has unit cell edge $400\, pm$. The density of element is (No. of atom in $BCC ( Z )=2$ ).

Updated On: Apr 28, 2024
  • $10.376\, g/cm^3$
  • $5.1888 \,g/cm^3$
  • $7.289\, g/cm^3$
  • $2.144 \,g/cm^3$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

No. of atoms per unit cell in $b.c.c.$ lattice $(n) = 2$

Density, $d = \frac{n \times M}{a^3 \times N_A}$
$ = \frac{2\times 100}{(4\times 10^{-8}\,cm)^3 \times 6.02 \times 10^{23}}$
$ = \frac{200}{38.528} $
$ = 5.19\,g/cm^3$.

Solid State

Solids are substances that are featured by a definite shape, volume, and high density. In the solid-state, the composed particles are arranged in several manners. Solid-state, in simple terms, means "no moving parts." Thus solid-state electronic devices are the ones inclusive of solid components that don’t change their position. Solid is a state of matter where the composed particles are arranged close to each other. The composed particles can be either atoms, molecules, or ions.

Types of Solids:

Based on the nature of the order that is present in the arrangement of their constituent particles solids can be divided into two types;

  • Amorphous solids behave the same as super cool liquids due to the arrangement of constituent particles in short-range order. They are isotropic and have a broad melting point (range is about greater than 5°C).
  • Crystalline solids have a fixed shape and the constituent particles are arranged in a long-range order.
