Find the number of Na^(+) ions and Cl^(-) ions associated with each in a unit cell and NaCl .

How many effiective Na^(+) and Cl^(-) ions are present respectively in a uint cell of NaCl solid (Rock salt structure ) if all ions along line connecting opposite face centres are absent ?

r_(Na^(+))" and " r_(Cl^(-)) represent radius of Na^(+) and Cl^(-) ions respectively. If 'n' is the number of NaCl units per cell then give the eqution you will use to obtain molar volume.

If the positions of Na^(+) and Cl^(-) are interchanged in NaCl, having fcc arrangement of Cl^(-) ions then in the unit cell of NaCl

Assertion. The sum of the radii of Na^(+) and Cl^(-) ions in NaCl cystal is 281 pm Hence, edge of the unit cell is 281 pm. Reason. Edge of the unit cell is the distance between the centres of Na^(+) and Cl^(-) ions touching each other.

How many Cl^(-) ions are there around Na^(+) ion in NaCl crystal ?
