A solid compound XY has NaCl structure. If the radius of the cation is 100 pm, the radius of the anion `(Y^(-))` will beA. 275.1B. 322.5 pmC. 241. 5 pmD. 165. 7 pm

Answer» Correct Answer - B
NaCl and face-centred cubic arrangement of ` Cl^(-)` ions and `Na^(+)` ions are present in the octahedral voids. Hence, for such a solid , radius , of cation
=` 0. 414 xx " radius of the anion " ( or (r_(+))/(r_(-)) = 0.414)`
i.e, ` r_(+) = 0.414 xx r_(-)`
`or = r_(-) = ( r_(+))/(0.414) = 100/(0. 414) = 241. 5 "pm" `
