Question
Diamond structure can be considered as ZnS (Zinc blend) structure in which Zn2+ in alternate tetrahedral void and S2- in cubic close pack arrangement is replaced by carbon atoms. If C - C covalent bond length in diamond is 1.5 
, what is the edge length of diamond unit cell (z = 8) :
, what is the edge length of diamond unit cell (z = 8) :Options
A.3.46
B.6.92
C.1.73
D.3
Solution
4x = √3a ⇒ = 
x
⇒
= 2 × 
= 2 × √3 = 1.73 × = 3.46
x⇒
= 2 × = 2 × √3 = 1.73 × = 3.46Create a free account to view solution
