11. How many atoms per square millimeter are there on (010) plane of lead? Assume the
interatomic distance to be 3.499×10-10 m. 2 Marks
(a) 2.04×1012 atoms/mm2 (b) 8.16×1012 atoms/mm2 (c) 16.32×1012 atoms/mm2
Ans: (b)
Detailed Solution:
Lead has FCC structure
The given interatomic distance = 3.499×10-10 m
∴ 2r = 3.499×10-10 m
If ‘a’ is the side of the square
∴√2 = 43
∴ a = 4.95×10-10 m
Now, area of (010) plane = a2 = (4.95×10-10)2 m2
For FCC, Number of atoms in (010) plane = 2
∴number of atoms per millimeter square =
([Link]× EL
M ) H
= 8.16×1012 atoms/mm2
