If the distance between \(\mathrm{Na}^{+}\)and \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)ions in sodium chloride crystal is ' \(Y\) ' \(\mathrm{pm}\). The length of the edge of the unit cell will be

  1. A \(4 Y \mathrm{pm}\)
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{Y} \mathrm{pm}\)
  3. C \(\frac{Y}{4} \mathrm{pm}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{Y}}{2} \mathrm{pm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \mathrm{Y} \mathrm{pm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because\) In sodium chloride crystal, the distance \(\because \mathrm{NaCl}\) has fec structure in which \(\mathrm{Na}^{+}\)occupies all octahedral voids, while \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)ions are present at all corners and edge centers. If, edge length \(=a\) The distance between…
