CUET · CHEMISTRY · PYQ PAPER 2024

The Cu metal crystallizes into an FCC lattice with a unit cell edge length of \(3 6 1\) pm. The radius of the Cu atom is:

  1. A \(127 pm\)
  2. B \(181 pm\)
  3. C \(157 pm\)
  4. D \(108 pm\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(127 pm\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For FCC lattice, \(4r = a\sqrt{2}\) \(r = \frac{a\sqrt{2}}{4}\) \(r = \frac{361 \times \sqrt{2}}{4}\) \(r = 127.6 \text{ pm}\)
