The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correctness of the statements related to the solid state, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing Option 1**: - The statement claims that the coordination number of each type of ion in cesium chloride (CsCl) is 8. - In CsCl, each cesium ion (Cs⁺) is surrounded by 8 chloride ions (Cl⁻) and vice versa. - Therefore, the coordination number for both ions in CsCl is indeed 8. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 2. **Analyzing Option 2**: - The statement claims that a metal that crystallizes in a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure has a coordination number of 12. - In a BCC structure, each atom is surrounded by 8 other atoms, not 12. - Therefore, the coordination number for a BCC structure is 8. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyzing Option 3**: - The statement claims that a unit cell of an ionic crystal shares some of its ions with other unit cells. - This is true as ionic crystals consist of repeating units, and the ions at the edges and corners of the unit cell are shared with adjacent unit cells. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 4. **Analyzing Option 4**: - The statement claims that the length of the unit cell of NaCl is 552 pm. - The unit cell length can be calculated using the formula: \[ a = R_{Na^+} + R_{Cl^-} \quad (where \, a \, is \, the \, edge \, length) \] - Given the ionic radii: \( R_{Na^+} = 95 \, pm \) and \( R_{Cl^-} = 181 \, pm \), we calculate: \[ a = R_{Na^+} + R_{Cl^-} = 95 \, pm + 181 \, pm = 276 \, pm \] - However, since NaCl has a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure, the effective length will be \( 2 \times (R_{Na^+} + R_{Cl^-}) \) for the face diagonal, which gives: \[ a = 2 \times 276 \, pm = 552 \, pm \] - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Final Answer: The correct statements are **Option 1, Option 3, and Option 4**. ---
