Nickel crystallises in a fcc type of unit cell, with edge length \(0.3524 \mathrm{~nm}\). Calculate the radius of nickel atom.

  1. A \(0.1624 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  2. B \(0.2164 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  3. C \(0.1426 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  4. D \(0.1246 \mathrm{~nm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.1246 \mathrm{~nm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a fcc type of unit cell,
\(r=\frac{a}{2 \sqrt{2}}=\frac{0.3524 \mathrm{~nm}}{2.828}=0.1246 \mathrm{~nm}\)
