The density of `KBr` is `2.75 g cm^(-3)`. The length of the unit cell is `654` pm. Atomic mass of `K = 39, Br = 80`. Then what is true about the predicted nature of the solid?

A

The unit cell is fcc.

B

`Z = 4`.

C

There are four `"constituents"//"unit"` cells.

D

There are `8` ions at corners and `6` at the centres of the faces.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
`Z_(eff) = (rho xx a^(3) xx 10^(-30) xx N_(A))/(Mw)`
`= (2.75 xx (654)^(3) xx 10^(-30) xx 6 xx 10^(23))/(119) = 4`
`Z_(eff) = 4`, suggest fcc sturcture.
Thus, there are four `KBr` units. There are `8` ions at the corner and `6` at the face centres.
