    Sodium metal crystallizes in bcc lattice with edge length of\[4.29\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]. The radius of sodium atom is

    A)  \[1.601\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    B)  \[1.857\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C)  \[2.857\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    D)  \[2.145\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    :  \[a=4.29\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] For bcc, \[r=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times 4.29=1.857\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
