Question
Copper has face-centred cubic ( FCC ) lattice with interatomic spacing equal to 2.54 A. The value of lattice constant for this lattice is
1.27 Ao
5.08 Ao
2.54 Ao
3.59 Ao
Solution
D.
3.59 Ao
Denoting a crystal structure in which there is an atom at each vertex and at the centre of each face of the unit cell.
lnteratomic spacing for a FCC lattice
Note:- interatomic spacing is just the nearest neighbours distance.
