If the value of ionic radius ratio `((r_(c ))/(r_(a)))` is `0.52` in an ionic compound , the geometrical of ions in crystal is

A

Tetrahedral

B

Planar

C

Octahedral

D

Pyramidal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The value of ionic radius ratio is `0.52` which is between `0.414 and 0.732` then the geometrical arrangement of ions in crystal is octahedral.
