Aluminum crystallizes in an fcc structure. Atomic radius of the metal is 125 pm. What is the length of the side of the unit cell of the metal?
What are n-types semiconductors?
The semiconductor whose increased conductivity is a result of negatively-charged electrons is called an n-type semiconductor. These are generated when the crystal of a group 14 element such as Si or Ge is doped with a group 15 element such as P or As.
Copper crystallises with face centred cubic unit cell. If the radius of a copper atom is 127.8 pm, calculate the density of the copper metal.
(Atomic mass of Cu = 63.55 u and Avogadro’s number NA = 6.02 x 1023 mol-1)
Iron has a body centred cubic unit cell with the cell dimension of 286.65 pm. The density of iron is 7.87 g cm-3. Use this information to calculate Avogadro’s number. (Atomic mass of Fe = 56.0 u)
What type of magnetism is shown by a substance if magnetic moments of domains are arranged in same direction?
An element crystallizes in a f.c.c. lattice with cell edge of 250 pm. Calculate the density if 300 g of this element contain 2 × 1024 atoms.
An element crystallizes in b.c.c lattice with cell edge of 500 pm. The density of the element is 7.5g cm-3. How many atoms are present in 300 g of the element ?
Explain how you can determine the atomic mass of an unknown metal if you know its mass density and the dimensions of a unit cell of its crystal.
