Sodium metal crystallizes in body centre...

Sodium metal crystallizes in body centred cubiclattice with the cell edge, `a=4.29Å`. What is theradius of sodium atom?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`1.86Å`
For bcc lattice (radius `r=sqrt(3)/(4)a=sqrt(3)/(4)xx4.29overset(@)A=(1.732)/(4)xx4.29=1.86overset(@)A`
