Detailed Solution

d=ZM/a3N;2=1×75/a3×6×1023
in simple cube 2r = a; r = a/2
original density = 1
d1d2=a235×108×5×108×5×10812=a235×108×5×108×5×108
So, it is body centered cubic (BCC) structure. For BCC, if a is the edge length of the cube and r is the radius of the atom then,

4r=3​a

r=34a

=34​​×5 A˚

r=2.165 A˚=2.165×10−8 cm=216 pm=2.16x102 pm
