Given:

The edge length of rock salt type unit is 700 pm. The radius of anion is 230 pm.

To find:

Radius of cation ?

Calculation:

We know that NaCl type of lattice shows FCC (face centres cubic) form. Now, the ionic ratio can be written as:

 \dfrac{ r_{ + }}{ r_{ - } }  = 0.414

 \implies \dfrac{ r_{ + }}{230}  = 0.414

 \implies r_{ + }  = 0.414 \times 230

 \implies r_{ + }  = 95.22 \: pm

So, the approximate radius of cation will be 95.22 pm.

  • Note that , in this kind of questions, we do not need the "Edge Length" value in calculation.

Hope It Helps.

Answer:

radius of anion +radius of cation =a/2

so answer is 120.
