Question
In solid boron nitride BN(s) the overall alternate arrangement of boron and nitrogen atoms is identical to arrangement of carbon atoms in graphite. The number of BN formula units per unit cell in the BN(s) is
Solution
The arrangement of atoms in boron nitride (BN) is similar to that of carbon atoms in graphite, which is a hexagonal close-packed structure. In this structure, each unit cell contains two formula units. Therefore, the number of BN formula units per unit cell in the BN(s) is 2.
