The edge length of face centred unit cubic cell is \[508\,\,pm.\] If the radius of the cation is \[110\,\,pm,\] the radius of the anion is [CBSE PMT 1998]
A)\[285\,\,pm\]
B)\[398\,\,pm\]
C)\[144\,\,pm\]
D)\[618\,\,pm\]
Correct Answer:
C
Solution :
Distance between centres of cation and anion \[=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{508}{2}=254\,pm\]
\[{{r}_{c}}+{{r}_{a}}=254\,pm\] or \[110+{{r}_{a}}=254\] or \[{{r}_{a}}=144\,pm\]
