The radii ofNa+andCl-ions are 95pm and 181pm respectively. The edge length ofNaClunit cell is

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

NaCl has fcc structure.
In fcc lattice with ions in octahedral voids
r + + r = a 2
Where, a=edge length
r + =95pm,  r =181pm 
Edge length = 2r + + 2r
=(2×95+2×181)pm
=190+362=552pm
