X-ray diffraction measurements on a newlydiscovered crystalline form of La revealed that La crystallizes ina body-centered cubic lattice in which the unit cell edge length is426.3 picometers. Calculate the atomic radius of the La atoms inthis crystal, based on the usual assumption that the atoms aretightly packed in the unit cell.
