In the cubic lattice given below, the three distances between the atoms `A-B, A-C`, and `A-G` are, respectively,

A

`(a)/(2),(a)/(sqrt(2)),(sqrt(3a))/(2)`

B

`a,sqrt(3)a,sqrt(2)a`

C

`a,sqrt(2)a,sqrt(3)a`

D

`a,(sqrt(3)a)/(2),sqrt(2)a`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

Edge length `=AB=AD=BC=CD=a`
`:. AC=sqrt(AB^(2)+BC^(2))`
`=sqrt(a^(2)+a^(2))=sqrt(2)a`
`:. AG=sqrt(AC^(2)+CG^(2))`
`=sqrt(2a^(2)+a^(2))=sqrt(3)a`

The regular three dimensional arrangement of points in a crystal is known as crystal lattice and the smallest repeating pattern in the lattice is called unit cell. The unit cells are characterised by the edge lengths a, b, c and the angles between them alpha, beta and gamma respectively. Based on this, there are seven crystal systems. In a cubic unit cell: a=b=c and alpha = beta=gamma=90^(@) The number of points in simple, body centred and face centred cubic cells are 1,2 and 4 respectively In both the hcp and ccp of spheres, the number of tetrahedral voids per sphere is two while the octahedral voids is one.
