Question

Calculate the ionic radius of a Cs+ ion, assuming that the cell edge length for CsCl is 0.4123 nm and that the ionic radius of a Cl- ion 0.181 nm.

Solution

Correct option is

0.176 nm

 

CsCl has a bcc lattice. So, dbody =   

Or    dbody =  0.4123 nm = 0.7141 nm

The sum of the ionic radii of Cs+ and Cl- ions is half this distance ie

 

                                   = 0.3572 nm

Ionic radius of Cs+ = 0.3571 – 0.181 = 0.1761
