Video transcript

Hello everyone. So in this video we're given four different statements and we're trying to figure out which statement is true. It's going to be regarding our c u C L compound and a structure. So we don't know the structure of our C u C L. But it's actually going to be very similar to a known structure. So C U C L apologizes to capital. C C U C L has a similar structure to Z N S, Z n S, a compound that we do know a structure of, and that's going to be face centered cubic lattice. So if we're saying that C U C L and C N S has similar structures, then this structure of the Z N S will also be the structure of C U C L. And that case, then the correct answer for this question is going to be a that C U c L has a face centered cubic lattice. That's going to be my final answer for this question. Thank you all so much for watching.

Textbook Question

Energy bands are considered continuous due to the large number of closely spaced energy levels. The range of energy levels in a crystal of copper is approximately 1 * 10–19 J. Assuming equal spacing between levels, the spacing between energy levels may be approximated by dividing the range of energies by the number of atoms in the crystal. (b) Determine the average spacing in J between energy levels in the copper metal in part (a).
