The inter-ionic distance in a crystal lattice of KCl is:

Correct answer: A. 314 pm

  • A. 314 pm
  • B. 181 pm
  • C. 95 pm
  • D. 300 pm

Explanation

A is correct since the interionic distance of crystal lattice of KCl is 314pmB is incorrect because the interionic distance of crystal lattice of KCl is not 181pmC is incorrect because the interionic distance of crystal lattice of KCl is not 95pmD is incorrect because the interionic distance of crystal lattice of KCl is not 300pm

About Crystal Lattice

A crystal lattice is the regular three-dimensional arrangement of particles in a crystalline solid. The content includes lattice points, unit cells, coordination number, packing patterns, and the differences among ionic, metallic, molecular and covalent network crystals, which should not be confused with amorphous solids.
