(a)
Interpretation:
Whether or not the given sole fact supports the possible identification of the sample as
Concept introduction:
A unit cell of the crystal is the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms present in the crystal. The unit cell is the smallest and simplest unit of the crystal which on repetition forms an entire crystal. Unit cell can be a cubic unit cell or hexagonal unit cell. The classification of a unit cell depends on the lattice site occupied by the atoms.
(b)

- The test tubes shown here contain equal amounts of the specified motor oils. Identical metal spheres were dropped at the same time into each of the tubes, and a brief moment later, the spheres had fallen to the heights indicated in the illustration. Rank the motor oils in order of increasing viscosity, and explain your reasoning:arrow_forwardwhat are antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic solids?arrow_forwardThe metal cesium crystallizes in a body-centered cubic lattice. If the density of cesium is 1.88 g/cm3, what is the unit cell volume?arrow_forward
- 3 Rubidium (Rb) adopts a body-centred cubic, BCC, structure at a pressure of 1 atm. Upon application of high pressure (of the order of 30,000 atm), Rb undergoes a structural phase transition to a face-centred-cubic, FCC, structure. (i) Describe what could be the main factor that induces the phase transformation. (ii) Describe how the diffraction patterns of the two forms would differ.arrow_forwardCalculate the structure factors for a body-centred cubic (cubic I) structure in which the scattering factor of the central ion is twice that of the ions at the corners of the cube.arrow_forward6 State the possible Bravais lattices for centred cubic systems and briefly explain how General Systematic Absences in the X-ray diffraction data arise when lattice centring is present and how this can be identified when indexing a cubic system.arrow_forward
