The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements regarding the CsCl unit cell. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - The statement claims that for a CsCl unit cell, the relationship between the radii of the cation (Cs⁺) and the anion (Cl⁻) is given by: \[ r_{Cs}^+ + r_{Cl}^- = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a \] - Here, \(a\) is the edge length of the unit cell. 2. **Analyzing the CsCl Structure**: - CsCl crystallizes in a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure. - In a BCC structure, the body diagonal of the cube can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Body diagonal} = a\sqrt{3} \] - The body diagonal connects two opposite corners of the cube and passes through the center atom. 3. **Relating the Radii to the Body Diagonal**: - In the case of CsCl, the body diagonal is equal to the sum of the radii of the cation and anion: \[ r_{Cs} + r_{Cl} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Body diagonal} = \frac{1}{2} \times a\sqrt{3} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ r_{Cs} + r_{Cl} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a \] - Therefore, Statement 1 is **true**. 4. **Understanding Statement 2**: - The second statement claims that CsCl has a face-centered cubic (FCC) type unit cell. - However, as established earlier, CsCl actually has a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure. 5. **Conclusion**: - Statement 1 is true, while Statement 2 is false. - Therefore, the correct answer is that Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false. ### Final Answer: - Statement 1: True - Statement 2: False
