Iron oxide $FeO$ crystallises in a cubic lattice with a unit cell edge length of $5.0 \ \mathring{A}$. If the density of the $FeO$ in the crystal is $4.0 \ g \ cm^{-3}$,then the number of $FeO$ units present per unit cell is $...........$ (Nearest integer).
Given: Molar mass of $Fe$ and $O$ is $56$ and $16 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ respectively.
$N_{A} = 6.0 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
