  • question_answer
    Na and Mg crystallize in bcc and fee type crystals respectively, then the number of atoms of Na and Mg present in the unit cell of their respective crystal is:

    A)  4 and 2                                

    B)  9 and 14

    C)  14 and 9                             

    D)  2 and 4

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     The bcc cell consists of 8 atoms at the comers and one atom at centre \[\therefore \]  \[n=\left( 8\times \frac{1}{8} \right)+1=2\] The fee cell consists of 8 atoms at the eight corners and one atom at each of the six faces. This atom at the face is shared by two unit cells. \[\therefore \]  \[n=8\times \frac{1}{8}+\left( 6\times \frac{1}{2} \right)=4\]
