In bcc structure of lattice constant aa, the minimum distance between atoms is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. In BCC, the body-centre atom touches the corner atoms along the body diagonal of length 3a\sqrt{3}a.
  2. The centre lies at the midpoint, so the minimum distance is 3a2\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2}.
  3. So the answer is (a) 32a\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a.
