Answer:

1.33 Å

Explanation:

Given that the edge length , a of the KCl which forms the FCC lattice = 6.28 Å

Also,

For the FCC lattice in which the anion-cation contact along the cell edge , the ratio of the radius of the cation to that of anion is 0.731.

Thus,

\frac {r^+}{r^-}=0.731 .................1

Also, the sum of the radius of the cation and the anion in FCC is equal to half of the edge length.

Thus,

r^++r^-=\frac {a}{2}  ...................2

Given that:

Cl^-\ (r^-) = 1.82\ \dot{A}

To find,

K^+\ (r^+) = ? \dot{A}

Using 1 and 2 , we get:

1.731\ r^+=0.731\times \frac {6.28}{2}

<u>Size of the potassium ion = 1.33 Å</u>
