We will be trying to find out the distance between the atoms (edge length, a) and the radius of cation and anion for different crystal structures.
 
Basically 7 crystal structures are know but we will be referring to the 3 main structures as shown above-
 
a) Simple Cubic Crystal structure -
 
in this structure each atom is surrounded by 6 other atoms and thus is the coordination number. 
 
Here distance = Edge Length = a.
 
r space equals space a over 2 
 
b) Body Centered Cubic Cell -
 
Fig b represents a BCC Crystal system for this the relation between "r" and "a" is 
 
r space equals space fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction a
 
 
c) Face centered Cubic cell -
 
Fig c represents a FCC crystal lattice for this the relation is given as
 
r space equals space fraction numerator a over denominator 2 square root of 2 end fraction
