Xenon crystallizes in fcc lattice and the edge length of unit cell is \(620 \mathrm{pm}\). What is the radius of Xe atom?

  1. A 219.2pm
  2. B 438.5pm
  3. C 265.5pm
  4. D 536.9pm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 219.2pm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D)
\(a=620 \mathrm{pm}\)
For fcc unit cell, \(r=\frac{a}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)
\(\therefore r=\frac{620}{2 \times 1.414}=219.2 \mathrm{pm}\)
