Silver crystallises with face - centred ...

Silver crystallises with face - centred cubic unit cells .each side of the unit cell has a length of 409 pm . What is the radius of an atom of silver ? (Assume that each face atom is touching the four corner atoms.)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For face-centred cubic unit cell of an element , ` r = a/(2sqrt2) = 0.3535a= 0.3535 xx 409 "pm" = 144.6 "pm" `
