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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
124.13
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
