Aluminium crystallizes in a cubic close-packed structre. Its metallic radius is `125 ppm` a. What is the length of the side of the unit cell? b. How many unit cell are there in `1.00 cm^(3)` of aluminium?A. `4.42xx10^(22)`B. `2.36xx10^(21`C. `2.26xx10^(22)`D. `3.6xx10^(18)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
For an fcc unit cell, `r=(a)/(2sqrt(2))` [Given, r = 125 pm]
`a=2sqrt(2)xxr=2xx1.414xx125`
`=353.5` pm `~~354` pm
Volume of unit cell `=a^(3)=(353.5xx10^(-10)cm)^(3)`
`=442xx10^(-25)cm^(3)`
Number of unit cell `=(1.00cm^(3))/(442xx10^(-25)cm^(3))`
`=2.26xx10^(22)` unit cells
