(a) Determine the type of cubic lattice to which a given crystal belongs if it has edge length of 290 pm and density is 7.80 g cm–3. (Molecular mass.= 56 g mol–1)
(b) Why does zinc oxide exhibit enhanced electrical conductivity on heating?
length of the unit cell edge = 400Pm =400x10-10 cm
volume of the unit cell = ( 400 x10-10cm)3
= 6.4 x 10-23 cm-3
as the element A forms a body centred cubic lattice so no of atom per units cell is 2
z= 2 atoms unit cell
atomic mass of the element =100 g/mol
density of element is given by
