Does MgO have a structure like that of NaCl or ZnS? If the density of MgO is 3.58g/cm3, estimate the radius (in centimeters) of the O2â anions and of the Mg2+ cations.

The radius of O^2- is  1.5*10^-8 cm and the radius of

Mg ^2+ is 6.2*10^-9 cm

Explanation:

Face centered cubic : 1/8 atoms on each edges + 1/2 atoms on each face

                                           =  = 4 effective atoms

MgO have a structure like NaCl forms a lattice of FCC.

density of the lattice =  

z : no of atoms

M: mass of the atoms

a: radius of the atom

Na: Avogadro's number

a^3(radius)  =

a^3 = 7.477 * 10^-23 cm^3

a = 4.21 * 10^-8 cm

Now calculating the anionic(ra O^2-) and cationic (rc Mg^2+)

in Fcc a = 2

ra = 1.5*10^-8 cm

a = 2ra + 2rc

rc = a/2 -ra

rc = 6.2*10^-9 cm

The radius of O^2- is  1.5*10^-8 cm and the radius of Mg ^2+ is 6.2*10^-9 cm

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
