The radius of tungsten is 137 pm and the density is 19.3 g/cm3. Does elemental tungsten have a face-centered cubic structure or a body-centered cubic structure?

Interpretation:
The lattice structure of elemental tungsten has to be identified and justified.
Concept introduction:
In packing of atoms in a crystal structure, the atoms are imagined as spheres. The two major types of close packing of the spheres in the crystal are – hexagonal close packing and cubic close packing.
In body-centered cubic unit cell, each of the six corners is occupied by every single atom. Center of the cube is occupied by one atom.
Each atom in the corner is shared by eight unit cells and a single atom in the center of the cube remains unshared. Thus the number of atoms per unit cell in BCC unit cell is,
In face-centered cubic unit cell, each of the six corners is occupied by every single atom. Each face of the cube is occupied by one atom.
Each atom in the corner is shared by eight unit cells and each atom in the face is shared by two unit cells. Thus the number of atoms per unit cell in FCC unit cell is,
Answer to Problem 60E
Answer
The lattice structure of elemental tungsten is identified as cubic close packing with body-centered cubic unit cell.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
Calculate the density of tungsten by assuming its structure as FCC.
The atomic radius of tungsten is given. The unit cell is assumed as that of face-centered cubic and its edge length is calculated. Accordingly, the volume, mass and density of FCC unit cell are calculated. The obtained value does not agree with the actual value of density of tungsten.
Calculate the density of tungsten by assuming its structure as BCC.
The atomic radius of tungsten is given. The unit cell is assumed as that of body-centered cubic and its edge length is calculated. Accordingly, the volume, mass and density of BCC unit cell are calculated. The obtained value agrees well with the actual value of density of tungsten.
Conclusion
The lattice structure of elemental tungsten is identified that of body-centered cubic since the density obtained by assuming the same agrees well with the actual value of density of tungsten.
