Question

Polonium adopts cubic structure with edge length of cube being 0.336 nm .The distance between the polonium atoms which lie at the corner along the body Diagonal is?

Answer 1

Polonium adopts cubic structure

The edge length a = 0.336 nm

Distance between the polonium atoms which lie at the corners along the body diagonal is = √3 a

= √3 x 0.336 nm

= 1.732 x 0.336 nm

= 0.5819 nm

So, our distance is 0.5819 nm

Answer 2

Hello Dear.

Here is the answer---


Given ⇒
Edge Length of the Cube of Polonium(a) = 0.336 nm

We know, 
Distance between the Polonium atom which lie at the corner along the body = √3a
= √3 × 0.336
= 0.5819

Thus, the Distance between the Polonium atom which lie at the corner along the body Diagonal is 0.5819 nm.


Hope it helps.
