Lithium metal crystallises in a body-centred cubic crystal. If the length of the side of the unit cell of lithium is 351 pm, the atomic radius of lithium will be

  1. 151.8 pm
  2. 75.5 pm
  3. 300.5 pm
  4. 240.8 pm

Answer

(1) 151.8 pm

Solution

In a bcc unit cell, the atoms touch along the body diagonal.

⇒ 3a = 4r

⇒ r = 34a = 1.732 3514

152 pm

∴ The atomic radius of lithium is about 151.8 pm.
