Compute the theoretical density of caf2, which has the fluorite structure. ionic radii of ca2+ and f- are 0.100 nm and 0.133 nm respectively.

Calcium fluoride is a face centered cubic (FCC) lattice.The edge length (a) of the FCC lattice is equivalent to the 2×(radius of cation) + 4×(radius of anion)/1.414.For calcium fluoride, the cation is and anion is . On plugging the given values the edge length of the crystal lattice is {(2×1.00)+(1.33×4)/1.414} = 5.176 A°= 5.176X10⁻⁸cm (as 1nm=10A°).For FCC lattice number of atoms present per unit cell (Z)= 4.

Density of crystal, d= (Z X M)/(a³), where M is the molar mass of CaF₂= 74.03 g/mol. is Avogadro's number= 6.023 X 10²³ number of molecules. density, d= = 3.545 g/cm³.

So, theoretical density of CaF₂ is 3.545 g/cm³.

when atmosphere interacts with biosphere they focuses on on the sources and sinks of green house gases (ghgs) air pollutants, particular matters, water and energy between the earth's surface and the atmosphere. the biosphere affects the climate. the atmosphere and biosphere are in constant interaction with each other, and all living things rely on gases in the atmosphere for life. organisms such as animals take in oxygen gas form the atmosphere to use in every cell of their body for smooth functioning of daily routine exercises.

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
