Q22 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (29 Jul Shift 1) · Chemistry
Ionic radii of cation and anion are and respectively. These ions are allowed to crystallize into an ionic solid. This crystal has cubic close packing for is present in all octahedral voids. The edge length of the unit cell of the crystal is___.
Correct answer: 566
Solution
In given ionic compound anions form CCP lattice, And cation is present in octahedral void. Means this structure is similar to structure of NaCl. Which is also called rock salt structure.
Edge length =
In rock salt structure cations and anions are in contact along the edge of the cube.
So,
Hence, the correct answer is 566.
