Xenon is crystallized in the fcc lattice and the edge of unit length is 620 pm. What is the nearest neighbour distance and radius of xenon atom ?

Answer»

Solution : EDGE length, a = 620 PM. For fcc lattice, nearest NEIGHBOUR distance, `d = a sqrt2`
`= (620)/(sqrt2) =(620)/(1.414) = 438.3` pm
For fcc lattice, radius of atom,
`r=(a)/(2SQRT2)=(620)/(2 xx 1.414)`
= 219.25 pm
