Question 1
(a) Sketch a unit cell of three crystal structures commonly found in metals and give examples of
two (2) crystalline metals in each of these structures. State the number of atoms contained in
the unit cell for each of the three types considered.
(6 marks)
(c) Find the lattice plane for the diagram shown below:
(d) Platinum has the FCC crystal structure with atomic radius, R = 0.1387 nm. Assume the atoms
to be hard spheres and packed as close together as possible along the FCC unit cell cross-
section. Calculate the theoretical volume density, 𝜌𝑣 of Platinum in g/m3.
(Given: Atomic mass of Platinum (Pt) = 195.08 g/mol, and
Avogadro’s number = 6.023 × 1023 atoms/mol)
