A hypothetical metal has a tetragonal unit cell for which the lattice parameters (in nm) are a=b=0.550, c=0.673 and all angles are 90 degrees. If there are 5 atoms per unit cell and the atomic packing factor is 0.63, determine the atomic radius in nm. Use 3.14 for pi. Give your answer to 3 decimal places. I got 0.197 the first time and it was incorrect.

1. Simple Cubic Unit Cell a. Consider one unit cell and assume the length of the side of the cube is "a". Remember that “a" is the distance between the centers of two adjacent atoms. How long is “a", the edge of a unit cell, in terms of radius, r, of an atom? b. A simple cubic cell has the equivalent of only 1 atom. Recall the volume of sphere with radius, r, is expressed as V = 4/3 r. With this information, find the total volume of all the spheres in this unit cell, expressed in terms of r. To do this, take the total number of atoms and multiply it by the volume of one atom, with radius, r) c. Find the volume of the entire unit cell including the empty space in terms of r.

Many elements crystalize with a unit cell that is hexagonally shaped (6 sided). The calculations of the unit cell dimension are not significantly more complicated than those for cubic unit cells. A hexagonal unit cell is shown below.The cell dimension "a" is twice the radius (r) of the atom. 2r=a. For most elements the dimension "c" is approximately 1.633×"a".The element technetium (Tc) crystallizes with a Simple Hexagonal unit cell. The density of a technetium is 11.5 g/cm3.
