Question

Pauli ionic radii calculation derivation ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pauling's Method

1.d(C+-A-) - internuclear distance between C+ and A- ions in C+A- ionic crystal.

2.Z*(C+) & Z*(A-) are the effective nuclear charges of cation (C+) and anion (A-) respectively. On combining.

3.values of r(C+) and r(A-) provided that the values of d(C+-A-), Z*(C+) and Z*(A-) are known.
