The arrangement of X - ions around A + ion in solid AX is given in the figure (not drawn to scale). If the radius of X - is 250 pm, the radius of A + is
Options
- A104 pm
- B125 pm
- C183 pm
- D57 pm
Correct answer
A. 104 pm
Step-by-step solution
A + cation is filled in octahedral hole generated by X - anion i.e., r A + r X - = 0.414 r A + = 0.414 × 2 5 0 = 103.5 pm ≈ 1 0 4 pm
