Solution

The correct option is D 144.19 pm
Given, a=333 pm
For body-centered unit cells, the relation between radius of a particle ‘r’ and edge length of unit cell ‘a’ is given as $\sqrt{3} a = 4 r$
On substituting the values we get $\sqrt{3} \times 333 = 4 r r = 144.19 p m$ .
Hence radius of the metal atom is 144.19 pm
