The density of KBr is `2.73"g cm"^(-3)`. The length of the unit cell is 654 pm. Predict the nature of the unit cell. (Given atomic mass of K = 39, Br = 80)

A

Unit cell is fcc

B

Z=4

C

There are four constituents in the unit cell

D

There are 8 lines at the corners and 6 ions at the centres of the faces

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
`(a, b, c, d), Z=(rhoxxa^(3)xx10^(-30)xxN_(0))/M`
`=(2.75xx(654)^(3)xx10^(-30)xx6.022xx10^(23))/((39+80)=199)=4`
It has 4 formula units per unit cell
The other two options are also correct
