Vedclass · Answer

(A) In a $bcc$ structure,the atoms touch along the body diagonal.The length of the body diagonal is $\sqrt{3}a$,where $a$ is the edge length.The body diagonal consists of two radii of the cation $(r^+)$ and two radii of the anion $(r^-)$,i.e.,$2r^+ + 2r^- = \sqrt{3}a$.The shortest interionic distance between the cation and anion is the sum of their radii,$d = r^+ + r^-$.Therefore,$d = \frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2}$.Given $a = 4.3 \ \mathring{A}$,the distance $d = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} 	imes 4.3 \ \mathring{A}$.

$CsBr$ has $bcc$ structure with edge length $4.3 \ \mathring{A}$. The shortest interionic distance in between $Cs^{+}$ and $Br^{-}$ (in $\mathring{A}$) is :

An element with molar mass $2.7 \times 10^{-2} \ kg \ mol^{-1}$ forms a cubic unit cell with edge length of $405 \ pm$. If its density is $2.7 \times 10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$, the nature of the cubic unit cell is: $(N_{A} = 6.02 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1})$

If $M$ is the atomic mass of an element and $a$ is the edge length of the unit cell,then the formula to calculate the density $\rho$ is:
