Crystalline polonium has a primitive cubic unit cell, lithium has a body-centered cubic unit cell, and calcium has a face-centered cubic unit cell. How many Po atoms belong to one unit cell? How many Li atoms belong to one unit cell? How many Ca atoms belong to one unit cell? Draw each unit cell. Indicate on your drawing what fraction of each atom lies within the unit cell.
Calculate the percent of volume that is actually occupied by spheres in a body-centered cubic lattice of identical spheres You can do this by first relating the radius of a sphere, r, to the length of an edge of a unit cell, l. (Note that the spheres do not touch along an edge but do touch along a diagonal passing through the body-centered sphere.) Then calculate the volume of a unit cell in terms of r. The volume occupied by spheres equals the number of spheres per unit cell times the volume of a sphere (4r3/3).
The CsCl structure is a simple cubic array of chloride ions with a cesium ion at the center of each cubic array (see Exercise 69). Given that the density of cesium chloride is 3.97 g/cm3, and assuming that the chloride and cesium ions touch along the body diagonal of the cubic unit cell, calculate the distance between the centers of adjacent Cs+ and Cl ions in the solid. Compare this value with the expected distance based on the sizes of the ions. The ionic radius of Cs+ is 169 pm, and the ionic radius of Cl is 181 pm.

Lithium hydride (LiH) has the sodium chloride structure, and the length of the edge of the unit cell is 4.086 108 cm. Calculate the density of this solid.
Calculate the percent of volume that is actually occupied by spheres in a face-centered cubic lattice of identical spheres. You can do this by first relating the radius of a sphere, r, to the length of an edge of a unit cell, l. (Note that the spheres do not touch along an edge but do touch along the diagonal of a face.) Then calculate the volume of a unit cell in terms of r. The volume occupied by spheres equals the number of spheres per unit cell times the volume of a sphere (4r3/3).

The edge length of the unit cell of tantalum metal, Ta, is 330.6 pm; the unit cell is body-centered cubic (one atom at each lattice point). Tantalum has a density of 16.69 g/cm3. What is the mass of a tantalum atom? Use Avogadros number to calculate the atomic mass of tantalum.
A common prank on college campuses is to switch the salt and sugar on dining hall tables, which is usually easy because the substances look so much alike. Yet, despite the similarity in their appearance, these two substances differ greatly in their properties, since one is a molecular solid and the other is an ionic solid. How do the properties differ and why?
