    Copper has face-centered cubic (fee) lattice with interatomic spacing equal to \[2.54\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]. The value of lattice constant for this lattice is

    A) \[1.27\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    B)        \[5.08\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]          

    C) \[2.54\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]          

    D)        \[3.59\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Interatomic spacing for a fee lattice \[r={{\left[ {{\left( \frac{a}{2} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \frac{a}{2} \right)}^{2}}+{{(0)}^{2}} \right]}^{1/2}}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\] \[a\] being lattice constant. \[\therefore \]  \[a=\sqrt{2}r=\sqrt{2}\times 2.54=3.59\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] NOTE: Interatomic spacing is just the nearest neighbors distance.
