The radii ofNa+andCl-ions are 95 pm and 181 pm 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 +  = 95 pm,   r −  = 181 pm 
Edge length =  2r +  +  2r −
=(2×95+2×181) pm
= 190 + 362 = 552 pm
