Potassium has a bcc structure with nearest neighour distance `4.52 Å`its atomic weight is `39` its density (in kg `m^(-3)`) will beA. 454 kg `m^(-3)`B. 804 kg `m^(-3)`C. 852 kg `m^(-3)`D. 908 kg `m^(-3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
For bcc, `d=(sqrt(3))/(2)a`
or `a=(2d)/(sqrt(3))=(2xx4.52)/(1.732)=5.219 Å=522` pm
`d=(ZxxM)/(a^(3)xxN_(0)xx10^(-30))=(2xx39)/((522)^(3)xx(6.02xx10^(23))xx10^(-30))`
