Detailed Solution
If anion-anion contact is retained, then as shown in the adjoining figure. Interionic distance of LiCl=a/2=5.14Ao/2=2.57AoBC=AB2+AC2=(2.57)2+(2.57)2=3.63AoRadius of Cl-12BC=12×3.63=1.81AoHence, statement 1 and 2 are correct.
Statement 1: If the length of the unit cell of LiCl having NaCl structure is 5.14 Ao, the ionic radius of Cl- ion is 1.82 Ao.Statement 2: Anion—anion contact is retained in LiCI structure because anions constitute the lattice.
