The edge length of a face-centred cubic unit cell is `508 pm`. If the radius of the cation is `110 pm` the radius of the anion isA. 288 pmB. 398 pmC. 154 pmD. 618 pm

Answer» Correct Answer - C
For centred unit cell,
`2(r^(+)+r^(-))=a`
`r^(+)-"radii of cation"`
`r^(-)="radii of anion"`
`2(1000+r^(-))=508`
`100+r^(-)=(508)/(2)`
`r^(-)=(508)/(2)-100`
`=254-100=154" pm"`
