Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the density of sodium chloride (NaCl) given the unit cell length, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the structure of NaCl Sodium chloride crystallizes in a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. In this structure, there are atoms located at the corners and the face centers of the cube. ### Step 2: Determine the effective number of atoms (Z) In an FCC unit cell: - There are 8 corner atoms, each contributing \( \frac{1}{8} \) of an atom to the unit cell. ...
