Calculation of atomic radii


Cu faced-centered cubic density = 8.92 g/cm3 mass = 63.546 g/mol

63.546 g cm3 4 atoms 1 mol unit cell 6.022 x 1023 atoms mol 8.92 g
(4.732 x 10-23 cm3 / unit cell ) = 3.617 x 10-8 cm lattice parameter, a
1/3

(3.617 x 10-8)2 + (3.617 x 10-8)2 = (4r)2 r = 1.279 x 10-8 cm 1 x 10-2 m 1 pm = 127 pm 1 x 10-12 m 1 cm
