If the radius of an atom of an element which forms a body centered cubic unit cell is 173.2 \(\mathrm{pm}\), the volume of unit cell in \(\mathrm{cm}^3\) is

  1. A \(3.12 \times 10^{-23}\)
  2. B \(6.4 \times 10^{-23}\)
  3. C \(3.2 \times 10^{-24}\)
  4. D \(2.13 \times 10^{-23}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(6.4 \times 10^{-23}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Radius of an atom in body centered cubic (bcc) unit cell \(=173.2 \mathrm{pm}\). \(\because\) For bcc structure \[ \sqrt{3} \cdot a=4 r \] where, \(a=\) edge-length \(r=\) radius of atom and \(a^3=V\) (volume of cubic unit cell).…
