Copper (Cu) has FCC crystal structure. Atomic mass of Cu is 63.55 gmol-1 and radius of a copper atom is 0.128 nm, mean speed of conduction electrons in Cu is 1.5 × 10^6 m/s and frequency of vibration of the Cu atoms at 27 ° is 4 × 10^12 s-1. Nordheim’s Coefficient of Au in Cu is 5500 nΩ −m. a) Calculate the atomic density of copper b) Estimate the drift mobility of electrons in Cu c) Find the resistivity of pure Cu d) Find the resistivity of Cu if 1 at.% of Au is mixed in Cu. pls solve it

Answer:

First, there are 4 atoms in the FCC unit cell.

The unit volume of the unit can be calculated based on the atomic radii, in which case the hypotenuse of the cube of the unit cell would be 4 X 0.1278

Next, find the weight of one atom by taking (63.55g / mol) X (mols / 6.0221415 x 10 ^ 23 atoms)

So now you have all the numbers you need. Take the weight of the atom X 4 divided by the cube volume taken from the hypotenuse.
