JEE Advanced 2018 Chemistry question
Consider an ionic solid **MX** with NaCl structure. Construct a new structure (**Z**) whose unit cell is constructed from the unit cell of **MX** following the sequential instructions given below. Neglect the charge balance. (i) Remove all the anions (**X**) except the central one (ii) Replace all the face centered cations (**M**) by anions (**X**) (iii) Remove all the corner cations (**M**) (iv) Replace the central anion (**X**) with cation (**M**) The value of in **Z** is .
Solution
In the NaCl-type cell taken here, M occupies the corners (8 × 1/8 = 1) and face centres (6 × 1/2 = 3), and X occupies the edge centres (12 × 1/4 = 3) and the body centre (1). (i) Only the
