In fcc unit cell the radius of each atom (sphere) is releated to the edge length ( or side) of the cube asA. `r=(sqrt(3))/(2)a`B. `r=(sqrt(3))/(4)a`C. `r=sqrt(3)a`D. `r=(4)/(sqrt(3))`

Answer» Correct Answer - 2
The length of the body diagonal is equal to `sqrt(3)a` .In bcc unit cell , all the three spheres(atoms) along the diagonal touch each other.therefore
` 4r=sqrt(3a)`
`r=(sqrt(3))/(4)a`.
