View Full Version : Crystal Lattices

I need to calculate the volume of particular unit cells in a crystal lattice.

I am given the distance between nearest neighbours (which I presume means between the atoms), which is 20^-10 m. But I can't seem to see how to get the volume, considering the awkward lay out of some crystals, and just using the distance between its atoms.

Any pointers?
