Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.1Q
To determine
The difference between a unit cell and a single crystal.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
A unit cell is the smallest group of the atom that shows the characteristics lattice structure of a particular metal, while a single structure is made up of a large number of unit cells. The structure is the arrangement of the atoms in any specific way.
The unit cell is the smallest group of the atom whereas, the single structure contains a large number of unit cells.
