The atomic weights of the A and X elements are 134.0 and 164.5g/mol, respectively. Which of the following crystal structures is possible for this material?
A. Cesium chloride
B. Zinc blende
C. Fluorite
D. Perovskite
E. Rock salt

Respuesta :

A hypothetical AX2 type of ceramic material has a density of 12.59g/cm3 and a unit cell of cubic symmetry with  cell edge length of 0.54 nm, then  the crystal structures possible for this material is C.) Fluorite.

What is Fluorite?

Fluorite is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, CaF₂ and belongs to the halide minerals. The Mohs scale of mineral hardness that is based on the scratch hardness comparison defines the value 4 as fluorite.

Fluorites contain fluorine as a part of their chemical makeup (CaF2). Fluorine is very toxic as a gas but fluorites are inert. Wearing or holding fluorite gems or jewelry does not pose any health risks.
