1.	Thallium chloride (TICI)crystallizes in a cubic lattice whose edge length is found to be 385 pm. If the density of the solid is found to be7.0 " g cm"^(-3), predict the type of lattice to which the crystals of TICI belong . (Atomic mass of TI = 204, Cl = 35.5)
Answer» SOLUTION :Calculate Z. It COMES out to be 1. This shows that a unit cell TICI has ONE FORMULA unit if TICI. Hence .it has body - centred cubic lattic (similar tot hat if CsCl)
