Solid cesium bromide has the same kind of crystal structure as CsCl which is pictured below: If the edge length of the unit cell is 428.7 pm, what is the density of CsBr in g/cm3.

Explanation:

Let recall the crystal structure of CsBr obtains a BCC structure. In a BCC structure, there exist only two atom per cell.

The density d of CsBr in g/cm³ can be calculated by using the formula:

where;

z = 1 mole of CsBr

edge length = 428.7 pm = (4.287 × 10⁻⁸)³ cm

molar mass of CsBr = 212.81 g/mol

avogadro's number = 6.023 × 10²³

nuclear fission produces elements that are heavier than helium.

the elements that are used in nuclear fission and their products are much heavier than helium.
