The metal potassium crystallizes in a body centered cubic unit cell with one atom per lattice point. When X-rays with λ = 1.937 Å are used, the second-order Bragg reflection from a set of parallel planes in a(n) potassium crystal is observed at an angle θ = 21.32°. If the spacing between these planes corresponds to the unit cell length (d = a), calculate the radius of a(n) potassium atom.
The metal iron crystallizes in a body centered cubic unit cell with one atom per lattice point. When X-rays with λ = 0.7107 Å are used, the second-order Bragg reflection from a set of parallel planes in a(n) iron crystal is observed at an angle θ = 14.35°. If the spacing between these planes corresponds to the unit cell length (d = a), calculate the radius of a(n) iron atom. _________Å
