The mass of an atom present in unit cell is \(4.4 \times 10^{-23} \mathrm{~g}\) and the product of density and volume of unit cell is \(1.792 \times 10^{-22} \mathrm{~g}\). What is the type of cubic unit cell?

  1. A Body centred unit cell
  2. B Face centred unit cell
  3. C Base centred unit cell
  4. D Simple cubic unit cell
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Face centred unit cell

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( Z = \frac{\text{Mass of unit cell}}{\text{Mass of an atom}} \) \( Z = \frac{1.792 \times 10^{-22} \mathrm{~g}}{4.4 \times 10^{-23} \mathrm{~g}} \)
