In antifluorite structure, 50% of TVs are occupied by anion.

In fluorite structure, 100% of TVs are occupied by cations.

In the fluorite structure, the coordination number of cation is:

Assertion : An important feature of fluorite structure is that cations being large ib size occupy FC C lattice points, the formula unit AB_(2) (A cation, B anion) Reason: There are 6 cations and 12 anions per FC C unit cell of the flucrite structure
