A metal X crystallises in a face-centred cubic arrangement with the edge length 862 pm. What is the shortest separation of any two nuclei of the atom ?

A

406 pm

B

707 pm

C

862 pm

D

609.6 pm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For fcc arrangement , distance of nearest neighbour (d) is `a/sqrt2=862/1.414`=609.6 pm
