Question: The distance between \(Na^{+}\)and \(Cl^{-}\)ions in NaCl with a density \(2.165gcm^{- 3}is\)...
The distance between Na+and Cl−ions in NaCl with a density 2.165gcm−3is
A
564 pm
B
282 pm
C
234 pm
D
538 pm
Answer
282 pm
Explanation
Solution
d=a3×NAZ×M
a3=d×NAZ×M=2.165×6.023×10234×58.8
a3=179.5×10−24cm3
a=5.64×10−8cm or 564 pm
Distance between Na+and Cl−
=2a=2564=282pm
