How would I use the cell edge length and density to calculate the number of atoms in one unit cell of cyrstalline silicon?
For those interested:
Use the cell edge length to find the volume of a cell. Use the volume and density to find the mass of a cell. Convert mass to moles and then moles to molecules and that is your answer. It all seems so simple now.
Thanks for answering your question, jp. It really cleared some things up for you.
