Question
Gold (atomic radius = 0.144 nm) crystallises in a face-centred unit cell. What is the length of a side of the cell?
Solution
For a face-centred unit cell:
`a = 2sqrt2r`
It is given that the atomic radius, r = 0.144 nm
So, `a = 2sqrt2xx0.144 nm`
= 0.407 nm
Hence, length of a side of the cell = 0.407 nm
