Q9 / 77 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Solid State

A solid AB has NaCl type structure with edge length 580.4 pm. The radius of A+ is 100 pm. What is the radius of B- in pm?

  • Correct answer
    A
    190.2
  • B
    540.13
  • C
    525
  • D
    78.12

Solution

NaCl has fcc structure and thus,
rc+ra=a2
100+ra=580.42=290.2
100+ra=290.2
So ra=290.2-100=190.2 pm

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