Question Description
Metallic vanadium crystallizes in a body-centered cubic lattice, with one V atom per lattice point. If the metallic radius of V is 130 pm, what is the volume of the unit cell in pm3 and in cm3?
Please answer it right ive been through 5 tutors with this problem

Final Answer

4r = 4 *130 pm = 520 pm
d2 + (d√2)2 = 5202
d = 300.22 pm = 300.22 * 10^-10
a. Volume = (300.22 )^3 pm^3
= 27060022.2167 pm^3
= 270.60022 * 10^5 pm^3
b. 27060022.2167 * 10^-30 cm^3
= 270.60022 * 10^-25 cm^3
