The size of `Cl^(-)` ion is `1.8Å` . The size of a cation for which a change in coordination just becomes possible from 6 to 8 in an ideal ionic crystal would be `:`A. `0.7452Å`B. `1.3176Å`C. `0.405Å`D. `1.8Å` |

Answer» Correct Answer - 2 `{:(R R R,,CN),(0.414 le (r_(+))/(r_(-)) lt 0.732,,6),(0.732 le (r_(+))/(r_(-)) lt 1.00,,8):}` Hence use the RR of `0.732` corresponding to the said changeover from CN of 6 to CN of 8. Hence cation size is `0.732xx1.8=1.3176Å` |
