  • question_answer
    If calcium crystallizes in bcc arrangement and the radius of Ca atom is 96 pm, then the volume of unit cell of Ca is

    A) \[10.9\times {{10}^{-36}}{{m}^{3}}\]            

    B) \[10.9\times {{10}^{-30}}{{m}^{3}}\]

    C) \[21.8\times {{10}^{-30}}{{m}^{3}}\]            

    D) \[21.8\times {{10}^{-36}}{{m}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] For bcc lattice, \[\sqrt{3}a=4R\Rightarrow a=\frac{4\times 96}{\sqrt{3}}pm=221.7pm\] (where R is the radius of Ca atom) Colume of unit cell \[={{a}^{3}}={{(211.7\times {{10}^{-12}})}^{3}}{{m}^{3}}\] \[=10.9\times {{10}^{-30}}{{m}^{3}}\]
