If a is the length of the side of a cube, the distance between the body centered atom and one corner atom in the cube will be
- 2 3a
- 4 3a
- 34a
- 32a
Answer
(4) 32a
Solution
The body centre lies at the mid-point of the body diagonal of the cube.
Body diagonal = a2 + a2 + a2 = 3a
∴ Distance between the body-centred atom and a corner atom = 12 3a = 32a
Answer: (4)
