JEE Main2012ChemistrySolid StateActual
A solid has a ' b c c ' structure. If the distance of nearest approach between two atoms is 1.73 Å , the edge length of the cell is
Options
- A314.20 pm
- B1.41 pm
- C200 pm
- D216 pm
Correct answer
C. 200 pm
Step-by-step solution
For bcc structure d= 3 a 2 where d= distance between two atoms a= edge length aligned & 1.73= 3 2 a & a= 2 1.73 3 =2 Å=200 pm aligned
