Last Name:

Laboratory Section:

Click on the Models360 link to open the page in a new tab. In the right side of the screen click on the Solids tab. In the new screen click on the Primary Ionic Structures button on the left side of the screen to reveal a list of structures. Click on the CsCl structure to see ionicCsCl structure and to rotate the structure.

1. Measure the edge length of the CsCl unit cell and enter below. (NOTE: When entering numbers with exponents enter 4.24 x10-8 as 4.24e-8.)

Edge length is

cm

2. Calculate the volume of the CsCl unit cell.

cm3

3. The purple spheres are chloride ions and green sphere is the cesium ion. How many chloride and cesium ions in the CsCl unit cell?

chloride ion cesium ion
