An element with a molar mass 27g mol forms a cubic unit cell. Calculate the number of atoms present in a unit cell if the density of metal is 2.7g cm

[ cm mol]

Answer: (C)

Solution

The density of a cubic unit cell is , where Z is the number of atoms per unit cell. Hence \frac{d a^3 N_A}{M}\frac{2.7\ g cm^{-3}× 40\ cm^3 mol^{-1}}${27\ \text{g
