A element X with atomic mass 60 g/mol has a density of `6.23"g cm"^(-3)`. If the edge length of the unit cell is 400 pm, identify the type of the cubic unit cell. Calculate the radius of the atoms of the element.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Step-I. Identifying the type of the element
We know that `rho=(ZxxM)/(a^(3)xxN_(0)xx10^(-30))" or "Z=(rhoxxa^(3)xxN_(0)xx10^(-30))/(M)`
According to available data,
Edge length (a) = 400 pm
Atomic mass of the element (M) = 60 g `mol^(-1)`
Density of unit cell `(rho)=6.23"g cm"^(-3)`
Avogadro's number `(N_(0))=6.022xx10^(23)mol^(-1)`
`Z=((6.23"g cm"^(-3))xx(400)^(3)xx(6.022xx10^(23)mol^(-1))xx(10^(-30)cm^(3)))/((60g mol^(-1)))=4`
The element X belongs to face centred cubic (fcc) unit cell.
Step II. Calculation of the radius of radius of the atom of the element
For fcc, radius (r) = `(a)/(2sqrt2)=(("400 pm"))/(2xxsqrt2)=141.5"pm"`
