Question

The crystal structure of magnesium oxide, MgO, is of the NaCl type. Use the fact, together with ionic radii, to establish the following: (MMgO = 40.40 g mol-1) (roxide = 140 pm, rmagnesium ion = 72 pm) A) The coordination numbers of Mg2+ and O2-; B) The number of formula units in the unit cell; C) The length and volume of a unit cell; D) The density of MgO.
