Hypothetical element X forms a solid, it could crystalizes in three ways. The unit cell being either simple cubic, face centered cubic or body centered cubic. (a) Which crystalline form of solid X has maximum density is to be identified. (b) Which crystalline form of solid X has the more empty space has to be identified. Concept introduction: Unit cell: A simplest repeating unit in the crystal structure. Every unit cell is described in terms of lattice point. Example for unit cell: cubic, monoclinic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, rhombohedral, hexagonal and triclinic. Simple cubic unit cell: The unit cell in which lattice points are located only at corners. Body centred cubic unit cell: The simplest repeating unit in the centre of the cubic structure. Face centred cubic unit cell: The identical particles present in the eight corners of the u it cell. But this structure contains same particle in the six centres of the faces.

Just try completing it and it should be straightforward according to the professor and TAs.

The grading is not on correctness, so if you can just get to the correct answers without perfectionism that would be great. They care about the steps and reasoning and that you did something. I asked for an extension, but was denied the extension.
