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`B. `804`C. `852`D. `908`

Answer» Correct Answer - d
For fcc, `d= sqrt(3)/(2) xx or a = (2d)/(sqrt(3)) = (2 xx 4.52)/(1.732)`
`= 5.129 Å = 522` pm
`rho = (Z xx M)/(a^(3) xx N_(0) xx 10^(-30))`
`= (2 xx 39)/((522)^(3) xx (0.23 xx 10^(23)) xx 10^(-30))`
`= 0.91 g//cm^(3)`
