    Sodium has body centred packing. If the distance between two nearest atoms is \[3.7{AA}\], then its lattice parameter is  [Pb. PET 2002]

    A) \[4.8\,{AA}\]                      

    B) \[4.3\,{AA}\]

    C) \[3.9\,{AA}\]                      

    D) \[23.3\,{AA}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    For bcc packing, distance between two nearest atoms \[d=2r=2\,\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}\,a}{4} \right)\] Þ Lattice constant \[a=\frac{2d}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{2\times 3.7}{\sqrt{3}}=4.3{AA}\]
