How many unit cells are present in 39 g of potassium that crystallises in body-centred cubic structure ?

A

`N_(A)`

B

`(N_(A))/(4)`

C

`0.5 N_(A)`

D

`0.75 N_(A)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Number of atoms `=("Mass")/("Atomic mass")xxN_(A)=(39)/(39)xxN_(A)=N_(A)`
In bcc unit cell, Z=2
`therefore` Number of unit cells `=(N_(A))/(2)=0.5 N_(A)`
