A sample of copper has a mass of 10.68 g when measured in air. It has a mass of 9.47 g when measured in water.
Answer these three questions:
How many atoms are in the sample?
What is the simple volume of the space including and surrounding each atom? Assume the atoms are evenly distributed throughout the sample. That is no FCC, BCC, or HCP crystal structure.
What is the diameter of each atom?
The elements A and B crystallize in bcc and fcc structures, respectively. Suppose that (i) the crystals of A
and B have the same density, and (ii) the nearest-neighbor distances in these crystals are equal. Calculate the
ratio MA/MB, where MA and MB denote the masses of the A and B atoms, respectively.
Hcp structure . Show that the c/a ratio for an ideal hexagonal close- packed structure is (8/3)^1/2 = 1.633 . if c/a is significantly larger than this value , the crystal structure may be thought of as composed of planes of closely packed atoms, the planes being loosely stacked.
