Which of the following expressions is correct in case of a CsCl unit cell (edge length ‘ a ’) ?
Options
- Ar Cs + + r Cl - = a 2
- Br Cs + + r Cl - = 3 2 a
- Cr Cs + + r Cl - = a 2
- Dr Cs + + r Cl - = a
Correct answer
B. r Cs + + r Cl - = 3 2 a
Step-by-step solution
CsCl has body centered type structure in which Cs + occupies at corner of a cube and Cl – occupies the centre of the cube. 2 r Cs + + 2 r Cl - = 3 a (where a is the edge length of the cube) r Cs + + r Cr = 3 2 a
