If the black squares are labeled A and the white squares are B, what is the simplest formula for a compound based on this pattern?arrow_forward(a) Determining an Atom Radius from Lattice Dimensions: Gold has a face-centered unit cell, and its density is 19.32 g/cm3. Calculate the radius of a gold atom. (b) The Structure of Solid Iron: Iron has a density of 7.8740 g/cm3, and the radius of an iron atom is 126 pm. Verify that solid iron has a body-centered cubic unit cell. (Be sure to note that the atoms in a body-centered cubic unit cell touch along the diagonal across the cell. They do not touch along the edges of the cell.) (Hint: The diagonal distance across the unit cell = edge 3.)arrow_forwardThe unit cell for nickel arsenide is shown below.
