CsCl crystallises in a cube cell that has a Cl- at each corner and Cs+ at the centre of the unit cell.If radius of Cs+ is 1.69 A and rCl- =1.81 A.What is the edge length of unit cell.?

CsCl is BCC structure.
so in BCC structure atoms touch along the body diagonal, which implies that
2(rCs+ + rCl- )= \sqrt{3}\times a
you can calculate the value of a from above equation.

No it's right,a=2*3.5/✓3=7/1.732=4.04 Å
So the formula is right
It is the same only you have to write ✓3 as 1.732 and not 1.7 to the the exact answer.

Dear student,
Please find the solution to your problem.
 
CsCl is BCC structure.
so in BCC structure atoms touch along the body diagonal, which implies that
2(rCs+ + rCl- ) = √3 a
2 x (1.69 + 1.81) = 1.732a
Hence, a = 2 x 3.5/1.732
a = 4.04 Å
 
Thanks and regards,
Kushagra
