A solid compound X Y has NaCl structure. If the radius of the cation is 100 pm , the radius of the anion ( Y⁻ ) will be
Options
- A275.1 pm
- B322.5 pm
- C241.5 pm
- D165.7 pm
Correct answer
C. 241.5 pm
Step-by-step solution
Radius ratio of NaCl like crystal = r⁺ r⁻ =0.414 or r⁻= 100 0.414 =241.5 pm
