Chromium metal crystallizes in a body centred cubic lattice. The length of the unit cell edge is found to be 287 pm. Calculate the atomic radius of chromium.

Answer»


SOLUTION :a=287 PM
For a body-centred cubic UNIT cell, RADIUS (r) = `(a xx sqrt3)/(4)= (287 xx sqrt3)/(4) =(287 xx 1.73)/(4)` = 124.13 pm
