An element crystallizes in a body-centred cubic $(BCC)$ structure with an edge length of $400 \ pm$. Calculate the interatomic distance in the crystal. Additionally, if an atom has a radius of $300 \ pm$ and crystallizes in a face-centred cubic $(FCC)$ lattice, calculate the distance between the nearest neighbours.
