(a) What is the difference between atomic structure and crystal structure
(b) Sketch the BCC and the FCC unit cells and show that the atomic packing factor for a BCC unit cell is 0.68.
(c) Molybdenum has a BCC unit cell, has an atomic radius of 0.1363 nm, and an atomic weight of 95.94 g mol. Compute its theoretical density and compare your answer with its experimentally measured density of 10.22 g cm³. The Avogadro’s number is 6.023x1023 atoms mol- and 1 nm is 109 m.
(d) What is a polymorphic (allotropic) phase change? Give example.
