4.53 The accompanying figure shows three different crystallographic planes for a unit cell of a hypothetical metal. The circles represent atoms. 0.30 nm (001) 0.40 nm 0.50 nm 0.45 nm 0.40 nm 0.35 nm (110) (101) (a) To what crystal system does the unit cell belong? (b) What would this crystal structure be called? (c) If the density of this metal is 8.90 g/cm³, determine its atomic weight.

Step 1

In the given figure, the lengths of the cell edges are not equal and the angles between them are not 90 degrees. Therefore, this unit cell belongs to the triclinic crystal system. (b) The crystal structure of a material is determined by the arrangement of atoms Show more…
