Rubidium chloride has the rock salt structure. Cations and anions are in contact along the edge of the unit cell, which is 658 pm long. The radius of the chloride ion is 181 pm. What is the radius of the Rb+ ion?

The rutile and fluorite structures, shown here (anions are colored green), are two of the most common structure types of ionic compounds where the cation to anion ratio is 1:2. (a) For CaF₂ and ZnF₂ use ionic radii, Ca²⁺ (r = 1.14 Å), Zn²⁺ (r = 0.88 Å), and F^- (r = 1.19 Å), to predict which compound is more likely to crystallize with the fluorite structure and which with the rutile structure.
