2)A new ionic lattice (AB) adopts a non-ideal NaCl structure, as found with most ionic lattices. The AB compound was found to have a lattice energy of U=-5.35x103 kJ/mol, density of 5.2 g/cm3, ΔHs = + 26 kJ/mol, and the radii values shown below.

Ionic Radii (pm)4 coord. no.6 coord. no.8 coord. no.
A2+138144152
B2-180188194

For the unit cell of AB what is the length of one of its sides (i.e. the value of "a"; units of pm)?
