QUESTION:
Problem 94P
KF has the same type of crystal structure as NaCl. The unit cell of KF has an edge length of 5.39 Å. Find the density of KF.
ANSWER:
Solution 94P
Here we have to calculate the density of KF.
Step 1
KF has the same type of crystal structure as NaCl.
The edge length of unit cell of KF = 5.39 Å
The crystal lattice of NaCl is a face-centered cell , hence it must have 6 atoms in the faces, thus the total a
