To Calculate the Radius of Atom by Making Use of Avogadro's Hypothesis
By Avogadro's hypothesis, the actual volume occupied by the atoms in one gram of a substance is 2/3rd of the volume occupied by 1 gram of the substance.
 
Let us consider a sample of a substance of mass m and volume V. If M is its molecular weight and Avogadro number is N, then
 
 
 
Where r = radius of each atom.
 
By Avogadro's hypothesis,
