Explanation:

It is known that for a body centered cubic unit cell there are 2 atoms per unit cell.

This means that volume occupied by 2 atoms is equal to volume of the unit cell.

So, according to the volume density

        5 \times 10^{26} atoms = 1 [tex]m^{3}

        2 atoms = \frac{1 m^{3}}{5 \times 10^{26} atoms} \times 2 atoms

                     = 4 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}

Formula for volume of a cube is a^{3}. Therefore,

           Volume of the cube = 4 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}

As lattice constant (a) = (4 \times 10^{-27} m^{3})^{\frac{1}{3}}

                                   = 1.59 \times 10^{-9} m

Therefore, the value of lattice constant is 1.59 \times 10^{-9} m.

And, for bcc unit cell the value of radius is as follows.

                 r = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a

Hence, effective radius of the atom is calculated as follows.

                 r = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a

                   = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 1.59 \times 10^{-9} m

                   = 6.9 \times 10^{-10} m

Hence, the value of effective radius of the atom is 6.9 \times 10^{-10} m.

The density of solid Cr is 7.15 g/cm3. How many atoms are present per cubic centimeter of Cr?
Masja [62]
To calculate the number of atoms of Cr, we first find the number of moles per unit of cubic centimeter of Cr. Then, use avogadros number for the number of atoms. Calculations are as follows:

1 cm^3 (7.15 g/cm^3) (1 mol / 51.996 g Cr) = 0.14 mol Cr

0.14 mol Cr ( 6.022 x 10^23 atoms Cr / 1 mol Cr ) = 8.28 x 10^22 atoms Cr
