Problem 56E
Ionic and Molecular Solids (Sections)
At room temperature and pressure RbI crystallizes with the NaCl-type structure
(a) Use ionic radii to predict the length of the cubic unit cell edge, (b) Use this value to estimate the density, (c) At high pressure the structure transforms to one with a CsCl-type structure, (c) Use ionic radii to predict the length of the cubic unit cell edge for the highpressure form of RbI, (d) Use this value to estimate the density. How does this density compare with the density you calculated in part (b)?
