A face-centred cubic element (atomic mass `60`) has a cell edge of `400` pm. What is its density?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the density of a face-centered cubic (FCC) element with an atomic mass of 60 and a cell edge of 400 pm, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the number of atoms per unit cell in FCC In a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure, there are 4 atoms per unit cell. ### Step 2: Convert the atomic mass to grams The atomic mass is given as 60 atomic mass units (amu). To convert this to grams, we use the conversion factor: 1 amu = \(1.66 \times 10^{-24}\) grams. ...
