How much volume of the simple cubic unit cell is empty space (i. e. not filled by the atoms)?

For simple cubic unit cell:

Let the edge length = a

Such that a = 2r  (where r is the radius of the atom)

Then radius of the atom =

Volume of the unit cell =

Number of atoms in simple cubic unit cell = 1.

Therefore, empty space = volume of cube - volume occupied by atom

Percentage of empty space =

Substituting the values:

Percentage of empty space =

Percentage of empty space =

Percentage of empty space = %.

Hence, % is the empty space of the simple cubic unit cell.

the food using pesticides in the future will harm you by giving you diseases like cancer or something since they have things that we should not eat in it like chemicals or pesticides. that is why organic food is more expensive because they take the time to make it right and healthy for you to eat.

explanation:

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.
