The relation between atomic radius and edge length 'a' of a body centred cubic unit cell :

(a) If the radius of octahedral void is 'r' and the radius of the atoms in close packing is 'R' what is the relation between 'r' and 'R' ? (b) A metal crystallises in body centred cubic structure. If 'a' is the edge length of its unit cell, 'r' is the radius of the sphere, what is the relation between 'r' and 'a' ?

Express the relation between atomic radius (r) and edge length (a) in b.c.c. unit cell.

For two isomorphous crystals A and B , the ratio of density of A to that of B is 1.6 while the ratio of the edge length of B to that of A is 2. If the molar mass of crystal B is 200 g mol^(-1) , then that of crystal A is

For a body centred lattice, edge length is equal to

The regular three dimensional arrangement of points in a crystal is known as crystal lattice and the smallest repeating pattern in the lattice is called unit cell. The unit cells are characterised by the edge lengths a, b, c and the angles between them alpha, beta and gamma respectively. Based on this, there are seven crystal systems. In a cubic unit cell: a=b=c and alpha = beta=gamma=90^(@) The number of points in simple, body centred and face centred cubic cells are 1,2 and 4 respectively In both the hcp and ccp of spheres, the number of tetrahedral voids per sphere is two while the octahedral voids is one. In a face centred cubic cell, an atom at the face contributes to the unit cell

A compound made up of elements A and B crystallizes in the cubic structures. Atoms A are present on the corners as well as face centres whereas atoms B are present on the edge centres centres as well as body centre. What is the formula of the compound? Draw the structure of its unit cell.

The radius of the largest shpere which fits properly at the centre of the edge of a body centred cubic unit cell is : (Edge length is represented by 'a')
