ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
The FCC unit cell is the simplest repeating unit in a cubic-closed packed structure. FCC unit cell contains four atoms per unit cell and its coordination number is twelve. Calculate the radius of FCC lattice using the formula.
\(l=2 \sqrt{2} r\)
Here, l is edge length and r is radius.
