Question: ( a ) What is the unit vector pointing in the [ 0 0 1 ] - direction ( along a vertical side of the

(a) What is the unit vector pointing in the [001]-direction (along a vertical side of the cube)?
hat(u)[001]=hat(i)+hat(j)+hat(k)
(b) What is the unit vector pointing in the [110]-direction (the diagonal of a horizontal face of the cube)?
hat(u)[110]=
hat(j)+
(c) What is the unit vector pointing in the [111]-direction (a diagonal of the cube)?
hat(u)[111]=hat(i)+hat(j)+hat(k)
Next, think about the spherical citrus fruit. Along which of these directions do you think the spheres touch?
(d) What is the separation between the centers of the atoms at the corners of the unit cell in the hat(z)-direction (along the [001] direction).
(e) What is the separation between the centers of the atoms along the diagonal in the hat(x)-hat(y) plane (along the [110] direction)?
(f) What is the sebaration between the centers of the atoms at opposite corners of the unit cell (along the [111] direction)?
 (a) What is the unit vector pointing in the [001]-direction (along
