alpha polonium crystallizes in a simple cubic unit cell with an edge length of 336 pm. what is the density of alpha polonium (in g/cm^3)?

Respuesta :

Simple cubic structure there is only one lattice point at each corner of the cube-shaped unit cell. Here, particles are present at the corners of the cube and not on the body center or face center.

Alpha polonium is a high radioactive heavy metal.

How to calculate density in simple cubic cell?

We will use the equation,

ρ=Z×Ma/a³×Na

where,

Z = number of atoms in a unit cell (Z = 1 for a simple cubic unit cell)

a = edge length= 336 pm

Na=6.022×1023particles/mol

Ma = 209

ρ=Z×Ma/a³×Na

= 1× 209 / (336) ³× 6.023

= 3.31 ^-5
