Q3 / 164 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Solid State

A solid AB has rocksalt structure. If the edge length is 400 pm and the radius of the cation is 80 pm , then the radius of the anion is

  • A
    100 pm
  • Correct answer
    B
    120 pm
  • C
    250 pm
  • D
    325 pm

Solution

a=2(r++r-) ,

400=2(80 + r-)

r-=120 pm

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
