In an ionic solid `r_((+)) = 1.6 Å and r_((-)) = 1.864 Å`. Use the radius ratio rule to determine the edge length of the cubic unit cell in `Å`

A

4

B

`2sqrt3`

C

`3sqrt3`

D

`4/sqrt3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`r_+/r_(-) = 1.6/1.864=0.858`
So, It is CsCl type of unit cell
So `sqrt3 a=2(r_+ +r_-)`
So `a=(2(1.864+1.6))/sqrt3Å=2xx2Å=4Å`
