The `Pt-CI` distance is `2.32 A` in several crystaline compounds
What is the `CI-CI` distance in structure (i) and in structure (ii)
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In structure (i)
`CI - CI = 2(2.32) = 4.64 Å`
In structure (ii)
Using the pythagorean theorem we have
`CI - CI = sqrt2 (2.32) = 3.28 Å `.
