What is the unit cell of diamond? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that a unit cell is the smallest repeating unit in a crystal structure.
  • Step 2: Know that diamond is made of carbon atoms.
  • Step 3: Recognize that diamond has a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure.
  • Step 4: In the FCC structure, atoms are located at each corner and the center of each face of the cube.
  • Step 5: Realize that in diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement.
