The crystal structure of the solid compound $XY$ is similar to $NaCl$. If the radius of the cation $X^+$ is $100 \, pm$, then the radius of the anion $Y^-$ will be ......... $pm$.

Consider an ionic solid $MX$ with $NaCl$ structure. Create a new unit cell $(Z)$ from the unit cell of $MX$ by following the sequential instructions given below. Ignore charge balance.
$(i)$ Remove all anions $(X)$ except the central one.
$(ii)$ Replace all face-centered cations $(M)$ with anions $(X)$.
$(iii)$ Remove all cations $(M)$ at the corners.
$(iv)$ Replace the central anion $(X)$ with a cation $(M)$.
