IN Chemistry: The central science, Volume I (12th ed.). Chapter 7 : End of Chapter question 7.38


In the ionic compounds LiF, NaCl, KBr, and RbI, the measured cation–anion distances are 2.01 Å (Li–F), 2.82 Å (Na–Cl), 3.30 Å (K–Br), and 3.67 Å (Rb–I), respectively.

1. Predict the cation–anion distance using the values of ionic radii given in Figure 7.7, on page 257 in the textbook.
2. Calculate the difference between the experimentally measured ion–ion distances and the ones predicted from Figure 7.7. Assuming we have an accuracy of 0.04 Å in the measurement, would you say that the two sets of ion–ion distances are the same or not? Why, or why not?

Thanks, do you know how the answers were developed.  Steps in getting the correct answer.

No, I actually found them on a website and simply copied it here.

When I did out the math, I came to the answers repsectively of 1.85,2.68,3.23,3.59 angstrom. Did I calculate incorrectly?

Thank you man I appreciate it.

Thank you, says it's .04 accuracy, but I wasn't sure if it applied to the radius or the total distance, if radius then the distances would be "the same"

How do you calculate the distances?

To get the answer, using the table you add the values of the cations and anions, not the values of the neutral atoms.
