The density of KBr is 2.75 g cm^-3 length of the unit cell is 654 pm. K = 39, Br = 80, then what is true about the predicted nature of the solid:
1) Solid has face centred cubic system with co-ordination number = 6
2)Solid has simple cubic system with co-ordination number = 4
3) Solid has face centred cubic system with co-ordination number = 1
4) None of these

. The length of the unit cell is 654 pm. Atomic mass in amu of K=39,Br=80. Then, the solid is:

MEDIUM

ANSWER

The expression for the density of the unit cell is as given below:

d=

V×N

z×m

Hence, z=

×N

o

Substituting values in the above expression, we get

z=

⟹n=4

The unit cell contains 4 molecules of KBr.

Hence, it is a face-centered cubic unit cell.

Hence, the correct option is A
