The strategy is to use the following to calculate the volume of the unit cell, and then the length of each side. Once this is done, you can use the packing and the geometry of the structure to calculate the radii.
This video develops the formula for volume of a unit cell in the most general crystal system, triclinic System.
Atoms Per Unit Cell. The amount that an atom contributes to a unit cell depends on its position in the unit cell. Each corner atom contributes \(\frac{1}{8}\) to the unit cell in the cubic cells and \(\frac{1}{6}\) to the unit cell in hcp; Each edge atom contributes \(\frac{1}{4}\) to the unit cell
The Unit Cell contains seven crystal systems and fourteen crystal lattices. These unit cells are given types and titles of symmetries, but we will be focusing on cubic unit cells. One of the most commonly known unit cells is rock salt NaCl (Sodium Chloride), an octahedral geometric unit cell.
The volume (V) of the unit cell is equal to the cell-edge length (a) cubed. V = a 3 = (0.3524 nm) 3 = 0.04376 nm 3. Since there are 10 9 nm in a meter and 100 cm in a meter, there must be 10 7 nm in a cm. We can therefore convert the volume of the unit cell to cm 3 as follows.
Use your answer in part (c) and the dimensions of the unit cell to calculate the density of compound X in g cm–3. Answers to worked example. (c) By looking at the diagram of the unit cell, first determine the number of each atom at the corners, edge, faces and in the body of the unit cell.
BCC has 2 atoms per unit cell, lattice constant a = 4R/√3, Coordination number CN = 8, and Atomic Packing Factor APF = 68%. Don’t worry, I’ll explain what those numbers mean and why they’re important later in the article.
Data from Table inside front cover of Callister (see next slide): crystal structure = FCC: 4 atoms/unit cell. atomic weight = 63.55 g/mol (1 amu = 1 g/mol) atomic radius R = 0.128 nm (1 nm = 10 cm) -7. Vc = a 3 ; For FCC, a = 4R/ 2 ; Vc = 4.75 x 10 -23cm 3.

HCP has 6 atoms per unit cell, lattice constant a = 2r and c = (4√6r)/3 (or c/a ratio = 1.633), coordination number CN = 12, and Atomic Packing Factor APF = 74%. HCP is a close-packed structure with AB-AB stacking. Don’t worry, I’ll explain what those numbers mean and why they’re important later in the article.
