Chapter 10: Q75E. (page 592)

Describe the crystal structure of iron, which crystallizes with two equivalent metal atoms in a cubic unit cell.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The crystal structure of the iron is body centred cubic structure.

Step by step solution

01

To describe the crystal structure of iron

In this case (body-centered) there is\(\frac{1}{8}\)th atom at each of the eight corners of the cube and one atom is in the centre of the cube.

Hence Iron forms a body centred cubic structure.
