Chapter 3, Problem 3H.36E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Number of unit cells contained by single cubic crystal of $1.0\text{ mm NaCl}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Unit cell can represent lattice structure if it stacked together repeatedly with no gaps and rotations. This can also produce whole crystals by stacking method. Basic type of unit cells is as follows:

1. Simple cubic (SC).

2. Body centered cubic (BCC).

3. Face centered cubic (FCC).

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Amount of $\text{NaCl}$ contained by single cubic crystal of $1.0\text{ mm NaCl}$ has to be determined.
