Copper crystallizes as face centered cubic lattice , with edge length of unit cell 361 pm. Calculate the radius of the copper atom.
Copper crystallizes as face centered cubic lattice , with edge length of unit cell 361 pm. Calculate the radius of the copper atom.
  1. 108.6 pm
  2. 127.65 pm
  3. 181.6 pm
  4. 157.6 pm

Solution: 127.65 pm

For F.C.C, 
a2 = 4r
361×2 = 4r
r = 127.65 pm
