Find the number of atoms per unit cell if edge length is 300pm, density = 3 g/cm3 , molecular mass = 40 g(nearest integer)
\(\text{The number of atoms per unit cell is}\):
\(Z=\frac{3}{40}\times6\times0.1\times(4.05)^3\)
\(\approx 3.056 \)
\(\approx3\)
\(\text{The correct answer is 3.}\)
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.
Based on the nature of the order that is present in the arrangement of their constituent particles solids can be divided into two types;
