Question

Chemistry: Iron Crystals In its solid form, iron forms a crystal lattice known as a body-centered cubic (bcc). This crystal consists of eight iron atoms at the corners of a cube plus one more atom at the center of the cube. The sides of the cube are 0.287nm long (1nm = 10^-9m). Put one corner of the cube at the origin, and place three of the faces along the positive coordinate planes.

1. Assign coordinates to each atom in the crystal.
2. What are the coordinates of the atom that is furthest from the origin?
3. What are the coordinates of the atom at the center of the cube?
4. Find the distance between the iron atom at the center of the cube and the atom in the \(xz\)-plane that is farthest from the origin.
