Explanation:

It is known that for a body centered cubic unit cell there are 2 atoms per unit cell.

This means that volume occupied by 2 atoms is equal to volume of the unit cell.

So, according to the volume density

        5 \times 10^{26} atoms = 1 [tex]m^{3}

        2 atoms = \frac{1 m^{3}}{5 \times 10^{26} atoms} \times 2 atoms

                     = 4 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}

Formula for volume of a cube is a^{3}. Therefore,

           Volume of the cube = 4 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}

As lattice constant (a) = (4 \times 10^{-27} m^{3})^{\frac{1}{3}}

                                   = 1.59 \times 10^{-9} m

Therefore, the value of lattice constant is 1.59 \times 10^{-9} m.

And, for bcc unit cell the value of radius is as follows.

                 r = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a

Hence, effective radius of the atom is calculated as follows.

                 r = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a

                   = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 1.59 \times 10^{-9} m

                   = 6.9 \times 10^{-10} m

Hence, the value of effective radius of the atom is 6.9 \times 10^{-10} m.

Which term is de ned as the region in an atom where an electron is most likely to be located?
charle [14.2K]
Orbital
All atoms have the same number of electrons as protons. Negative electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus. This force of attraction keeps electrons constantly moving around the nucleus. The region where an electron is most likely to be found is called an orbital.
