The unit cell edge length of NaF crystal...

The unit cell edge length of NaF crystal is `4.634Å`. If the ionic radius of `Na^(+)` ion is 95 pm, what is the ionic radius of `F^(-)` ion, assuming that anion-anion contact and face centred cubic lattice?

Verified by Experts

Forn the face centred cubic lattice,
`r(Na^(+))+r(F^(-))=(a)/(2)=(4.634Å)/(2)=2.317Å`
`=(2.317xx100)"pm"=231.7"pm"`
`r(F^(-))=231.7-r(Na^(+))=231.7-95=136.7"pm"`

The well know mineral flourite is chemically calcium fluoride. It is a well known fact that in one unit cell of this mineral, there are four Ca^(2+) ions and eight F^(-) ions and Ca^(2+) ions are arranged in f.c.c. lattice. The F^(-) ions fill all the tetrahedral holes in the face centred cubic lattice of Ca^(2+) ions. The edge length of the unit cell is 5.46xx10^(-8) cm. The density of the solid is 3.18"g cm"^(-3) .
