Potassium crystallizes in a body-centred cubic unit cell. What is the unit-cell content (Z) for potassium?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the unit-cell content (Z) for potassium, which crystallizes in a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the BCC Structure In a body-centered cubic unit cell, there are atoms located at specific positions: - Atoms at each of the 8 corners of the cube. - 1 atom at the center of the cube. ### Step 2: Calculate the Contribution of Corner Atoms ...
