Detailed Solution

In a bcc structure, the atoms touch each other along the body diagonal. 

Question Image

Radius of the atom = r

AB2=BC2+AC2

BC2=BD2+CD2=a2+a2=2a2

AB2=2a2+a2=3a2

AB=3a

Question Image

But AB=4r

4r=3ar=3a/4

r=3×3504pm

=3×3504×10-12m

=3×3504×10-10cm

=151.55×10-10cm

Volume of one atom 43πr3=43π(154.14×10-10)3cm3

                                                       =1.45×10-23cm3

Volume of N0 atoms is one mole of the metal 

                                                   =6.02×1023×1.45×10-23cm3=8.733 cm3
