By using paulings method calculate the ionic radii ofK^(+)andCl^(-)ions in the potassium chloride crystal . Given thatd_(K^(+)-Cl^(-))=3.14Å.

Answer»

SOLUTION :`d_(K^(+)-Cl^(-))=3.14Å`
`r_(K^(+))=`?
`r_(K^(+))+r_(Cl^(-))=3.14Å`.
We know that
`(r_(K^(+)))/(r_(Cl^(-)))((Z_("eff"))Cl^(-))/((Z_("eff")K^(+)))`
`(Z_("eff"))_(Cl^(-))=Z-S`
`=17-[(0.35xx7)+(0.85xx8)+(1xx2)]`
`=17-11.25=5.75`
`(Z_("eff"))_(Cl^(-))=Z-S`
`=19-[(0.35xx7)+(0.85xx8)+(1xx2)]`
`=19-11.25=7.75`
`therefore(R(K^(+)))/(r(Cl^(-)))=((Z_("eff"))_(Cl^(-)))/((Z_("eff"))_(K^(+)))=(5.75)/(7.75)=0.74`
`thereforer_((K^(+)))=0.74r_((Cl^(-)))`
Substitute the VALUE of `r_((K^(+)))`inequation (1)
`0.74r_((Cl^(-)))+r_((Cl^(-)))=3.14Å`
`1.74r_((Cl^(-)))=3.14Å`
`thereforer_((Cl^(-)))=(3.14Å)/(1.74)=1.81Å`
From (1)
`r_((K^(+)))=3.14-1.81`
`=_(-)1.33Å`
`thereforer_((K^(+)))=1.33Åandr_((C^(-)))=1.81Å`
