Question

Polonium crystallizes in a simple cubic unit cell with an edge length of 3.36 Å.

Answer 1

a. The unit cell is the smallest group of atom which have overall symmetry of a crystal, and from which is the entire letters can be buled built up by repetition in 3 dimensions.

b. The volume(v) of the unit cell is equal to the cell edge length (a)cubed.

c. density of polonium is 9.32g/cm3.
