Calculate the radius of an atom of metal if it forms simple cubic unit cell with edge length 380 pm .

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

For simple cubic unit cell, edge length $(a)=2 r$ Edge length $(a)=380$ pm $\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \mathrm{r} & =\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2} \ & =\frac{380 \mathrm{pm}}{2}=190 \mathrm{pm} \end{aligned}$
