Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
relation between radius (r) of atom and size of cube (a) is
A
a=r
B
a=2r
C
a=3r
D
a=4r
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The radius of the constituent particle of a simple cubic unit cell is equal to half of the edge length of the unit cell, i.e., r=12a.

Detailed explanation-2: -The relation between edge length (a) and radius of atom (r) for FCC lattice is √2a=4r.

Detailed explanation-3: -The relation between edge length (a) and radius of atom (r) for BCC lattice is √3a=4r .

Detailed explanation-4: -For the simple cubic unit cell, the atoms touch along the edge of the cube, so the edge length l is equal to twice the radius of the atom 2r.
