  1. A 14.14
  2. B 35.3
  3. C 176.7
  4. D 141.4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 141.4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Edge/side length of a fcc \(=400 \mathrm{pm}\) \(\because\) For fcc \[ \begin{aligned} r & =\frac{a}{2 \sqrt{2}} \\ \therefore \quad r & =\frac{400}{2 \times 1.414}=141.4 \mathrm{pm} \end{aligned} \]
