Vedclass · Answer

(B) In a face-centred cubic $(FCC)$ lattice,the atoms touch each other along the face diagonal. The length of the face diagonal is $a \sqrt{2}$. Since the face diagonal consists of two radii of the corner atoms and one full diameter of the face-centred atom,the distance between the centres of two nearest atoms (the closest distance) is half of the face diagonal. Therefore,the closest distance $d = \frac{a \sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}$.

In the face-centred cubic $(FCC)$ lattice structure of gold,the closest distance between gold atoms is ('a' being the edge length of the cubic unit cell).
