Ionic Model & Ionic Radius
The electrostatic interaction between charged spheres is responsible for the formation of bonding in an ionic model. The determination of the sizes of the ionic radius is possible by the internuclear separation of the separate contributions of the anion from cation.
The radius of one ion is calculated on the basis of a standard ion (by assuming the value of one ion). The standard ion is oxide ion which helps in the determination of the other ions. This is because an oxide ion occurs in combination with many different elements. Moreover, an oxide ion is comparatively unpolarizable. Therefore, the significant change in the size is negligible on the basis of the counterion present.
Ionic radius is helpful in the prediction of crystal structures including lengths of the axes, lattice parameters, etc. However, this prediction is possible provided the values of the radius of the ions are taken from the same origin or same reference ion. This is important for achieving the correct relative sizes.
