A small portion of a crystal lattice is sketched below. What is the name of the unit cell of this lattice? Your answer must be a
word, a very short phrase, or a standard abbreviation. Spelling counts!
1 answer:
This is an incomplete question, the given sketch is shown below.
Answer : The name of given unit cell is, FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)
Explanation :
Unit cell : It is defined as the smallest 3-dimensional portion of a complete space lattice which when repeated over the and again in different directions produces the complete space lattice.
There are three types of unit cell.
- SCC (simple-centered cubic unit cell)
- BCC (body-centered cubic unit cell)
- FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)
In SCC, the atoms are arranged at the corners.
The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 1
In BCC, the atoms are arranged at the corners and the body center.
The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 2
The given unit cell is, FCC because the atoms are arranged at the corners and the center of the 6 faces.
The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 4
Thus, the name of given unit cell is, FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)

Answer:
a. Polar
b. Polar
c. Non-polar
d. Non-polar
Explanation:
a. , hydronium cation contains a positive charge. Just as any other ion, it is polar, as it has a net charge.
b. has the same shape as water. There are two lone pairs on sulfur atom which produce an overall dipole moment in this molecule, the bent structure is polar.
c. is non-polar, as the central atom, phosphorus, doesn't contain any lone pairs, all the dipole moments cancel out: two dipole moments in the vertical plane, P-Cl, and three P-Cl dipoles in the horizontal plane within a trigonal bipyramidal shape.
d. is non-polar, since it's a tetrahedral molecule with no lone pairs on carbon atom, all four C-F dipole moments cancel out to yield a net 0 dipole moment.
