Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 22PE
Use the data in the previous Practice Exercise to determine the density of polonium. Can we use the density of a metal to deduce its crystal structure? Explain your answer.
Polonium is the only metal known to crystallize in a simple cubic structure. If the X-ray experiment shows that the side of a polonium crystal is 335 pm, what is the atomic radius for polonium? (Hint: Do the polonium atoms “touch" along a side, diagonal of a side, or diagonal through the center of the crystal?)

- The CsCl structure is a simple cubic array of chloride ions with a cesium ion at the center of each cubic array (see Exercise 69). Given that the density of cesium chloride is 3.97 g/cm3, and assuming that the chloride and cesium ions touch along the body diagonal of the cubic unit cell, calculate the distance between the centers of adjacent Cs+ and Cl ions in the solid. Compare this value with the expected distance based on the sizes of the ions. The ionic radius of Cs+ is 169 pm, and the ionic radius of Cl is 181 pm.arrow_forwardRubidium chloride has the sodium chloride structure at normal pressures but assumes the cesium chloride structure at high pressures.
