Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The atomic radius of xenon has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The Volume of the cubic unit cell is the length of the edge raised to the third power

The edge length in face centered cubic array is calculated as,

  $\text{The}\text{edge}\text{length}\text{in}\text{fcc}\text{array}\text{(a)=}\sqrt{\text{8}}\text{r}$

where r is the radius of the unit cell,
