Chapter 16 Problem 16.78

Question

MnO has either the NaCl type structure or the CsCl type structure. The edge length of the MnO unit cell is 4.47 3 1028 cm, and the density of MnO is 5.28 g/cm3. a. Does MnO crystallize in the NaCl type or the CsCl type structure? b. Assuming that the ionic radius of oxygen is 140. pm, estimate the ionic radius of manganese. c. Does the calculated cation-to-anion radius ratio for MnO substantiate your answer in part a? Explain.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 16 problem number 78 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: MnO has either the NaCl type structure or the CsCl type structure. The edge length of the MnO unit cell is 4.47 3 1028 cm, and the density of MnO is 5.28 g/cm3. a. Does MnO crystallize in the NaCl type or the CsCl type structure? b. Assuming that the ionic radius of oxygen is 140. pm, estimate the ionic radius of manganese. c. Does the calculated cation-to-anion radius ratio for MnO substantiate your answer in part a? Explain.
From the textbook chapter Liquids and Solids you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
