Answer

$r=0.1432nm$

Work Step by Step

Given ${\rho}=16.6\frac{g}{cm^3}$, Atomic weight=180.9g\mol, and $\rho=\frac{nA}{{V_{c}}{N_{A}}}$ For BCC, n=2 and $V_{c}=(\frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}})^3$ $N_{A}=6.023\times10^{23} \frac{atom}{mol}$ is Avogadro's number $16.6=\frac{2\times180.9}{(\frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}})^3\times6.023\times10^{23}}$ $r^3=\frac{2\times3\sqrt{3}\times180.9}{({16.6\times16}{\sqrt{2}})\times6.023\times10^{23}}$ $r=0.1432nm$
