Calculate the total volume occupied by all atoms in simple cubic unit cell if radius of atom is $3 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~cm}$ :
  1. $1.13 \times 10^{-22} \mathrm{~cm}^3$
  2. $2.25 \times 10^{-22} \mathrm{~cm}^3$
  3. $3.15 \times 10^{-22} \mathrm{~cm}^3$
  4. $4.37 \times 10^{-22} \mathrm{~cm}^3$

Solution

For simple cubic unit cell, $\mathrm{n}=1$ Total volume occupied by atoms in SCC $\begin{aligned} & =\mathrm{n} \times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \mathrm{r}^3 \\ & =1 \times \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times\left(3 \times 10^{-8}\right)^3=1.13 \times 10^{-22} \mathrm{~cm}^3 \end{aligned}$
