In CsCl with cubic structure, Cl^(-) ion...

In `CsCl` with cubic structure, `Cl^(-)` ions are located at each corner and `Cs^(+)` ions at the centre of the unit cell. If `r_(Cs^(+))` and `r_(Cl^(-))` and `1.69Å` and `1.81Å` respectively. Find the value of edge length of cube.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4

`r_(Cs^(+))+r_(Cl^(-))=1.69+1.81=3.5Å`
Diagonal length`=(asqrt(3))/(2)`
`:. (asqrt(3))/(2)=3.5`
or`a=(3.5xx2)/(sqrt(3))~~4`
