A solid AB has the NaCl structure. If radius of the radius of the cation `A^(+)` is 120 pm, calculate the maximum value of the radius of anion `B^(-)`.

Answer» Since, NaCl has octahedral structure,
The limiting ration `(r_(A)^(+))/(r_(B)^(-))=0.414`
or `r_(B)^(-)=(r_(A)^(+))/(0.414)=(120)/(0.414)=290` pm
