Assignment 1 (Ch 3 & CES Intro)
Name: BRYCE JONES

Attempt: 1 / 3

Out of: 13

Started: January 13, 2006 9:01pm

Finished: January 19, 2006 7:50pm

Time spent: 142 hr, 49 min., 26 sec.

Read these instructions before you start this assignment:

To do the first 3 questions of Assignment 1, you need to do the online CES tutorial. You can get to it by clicking here.
The other questions relate to what we've been learning in class. Use the lecture notes and textbook as references. If you get stuck, remember that the TA's at the Drop-In Centre
can help you. The hours and location of the Drop-In Centre are given on the "Getting Help" page.
Remember that you don't have to do all the questions at the same time. Save your answers as you go. You can leave and log back in later. The answers you saved will still be
there. When you're done all the questions, don't forget to use the Finish button.

True & False:

The properties of noncrystalline materials are anisotropic.
Student response:

Correct
Response

Student
Response

Answer Choices
a.

True

b.

False

General feedback: Noncrystalline materials do not have defined crystal structures. As a result they have no definite crystallographic directions. Therefore,
the properties of noncrystalline materials are isotropic as opposed to being anisotropic.

For a metal that has the body-centered cubic crystal structure, calculate the atomic radius if the metal has a density of 3.77 g/cm3 and an atomic weight
of 74.6 g/mol.
Give your answer in nm.
Use decimal notation, digits after decimal: 3
Student response: 0.4658 nm
Correct answer:

0.175 nm

General feedback: The density of a metal may be calculated using the following equation:

For the body-centered cubic crystal structure there are two atoms associated with each unit cell (i.e., n = 2).
For the body-centered cubic crystal structure the atomic radius and unit cell edge length are related as

Remember to convert from cm to nm.

If the atomic radius of a metal that has the body-centered cubic crystal structure is 0.165 nm, calculate the volume of its unit cell (in nm^3).
The unit cell for the body-centered cubic crystal structure is

Use decimal notation, digits after decimal: 4

Student response: 4.4921e-3 nm^3
Correct answer:

0.0553 nm^3

General feedback: Since the atoms in a BCC structure touch each other along the unit cell diagonal, the length of this diagonal is four times the atomic
radius. The edge length, a, is a function of the face diagonal length, l, and the atomic radius, R, using

Therefore, the volume of the cubic unit cell may be calculated as follows:

Consider a metal with an BCC crystal structure and atomic weight 92.91. When monochromatic x-radiation having a wavelength of 0.108 nm is used, the
angle of diffraction for the (211) set of planes in this metal occurs at 38.7 (first-order reflection).
Compute the density of this metal in g/cm^3
Note: You can find information on X-Ray Diffraction on the CD accompanying the text.
Use decimal notation, digits after decimal: 2
Student response: 1.23 g/cm^3
Correct answer:

7.13 g/cm^3

General feedback: Remember:

Knowing that, you can solve for theta and use

to solve for the interplanar spacing, d.

You can then use

to calculate the lattice parameter, a, from which you can calculate the cell volume.

Can then be used to calculate the density.
