A metal crystallizes with a face-centered cubic lattice. The edge of the unit cell is 408 pm . The diameter of the metal atom is
Options
- A288 pm
- B408 pm
- C144 pm
- D204 pm
Correct answer
A. 288 pm
Step-by-step solution
For fcc lattice, aligned & 4 r= 2 a & r= 2 4 a= a 2 2 & = 408 2 2 & =144 pm & diameter d=2 r=2 144 pm & =288 pm aligned
