AI Generated Solution

To find the radius of a tungsten atom in a body-centered cubic (BCC) unit cell, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the BCC structure In a BCC unit cell, there are atoms located at the corners of the cube and one atom at the center. The relationship between the edge length (a) of the unit cell and the radius (r) of the atom can be expressed as: \[ \sqrt{3}a = 4r \] ### Step 2: Identify the given values From the problem, we know: ...
