Question

The density of CaF2 (fluorite structure) is 3.18 g cm3. The length of the side of the unit cell (in pm) is:
  1. 253
  2. 344
  3. 546
  4. 273

A
344
B
253
C
546
D
273
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is C 546
d=zMNA×V

For flourite structure, z=4 and M=78

3.18=4×786.023×1023×a3

a3=3126.023×1023×3.18

a3=16.28×1023

a=546 pm
