Solution

In a simple cubic lattice, we have atoms only at the corners of the lattice.
If we compare the edge length (a) to radius (r), we get ratio of $$2:1$$.
The two atoms joins each other along the edge of a lattice.
So, the answer is $$\dfrac { a }{ 2 } =r$$
Hence, the radius of sphere is $$267$$ pm.
