An element has a body-centered cubic (bcc) structure with a cell edge of pm. The atomic radius is:
pm
pm
pm
pm
To find the atomic radius of an element with a body-centered cubic (bcc) structure, we need to understand the geometry of the bcc unit cell.In a bcc structure, the atoms are located at the corners of the cube and one atom is at the center. The relation between the atomic radius and the edge length of the cube is given by:• The body diagonal of the cube contains atomic radii plus the diameter of the central atom.• The body diagonal of the cube is • The body diagonal also equals (since it passes through the center of the atom at the center of the cube).Thus, we have the equation:Solving for Given that the cell edge pm, substitute this into the equation: pmTherefore, the atomic radius is given by Option 4: pm.
