In `CaF_(2)` type (fluorite structure) `Ca^(2+)` ions form W structure and `F^(-)` ions are present in all X voids. The coordination number of `Ca^(2=)` is Y and `F^(-)` is Z. W,X,Y and Z respectively are

A

`{:(W,X,Y,Z),(c cp, "octahedral",8,4):}`

B

`{:(X,X,Y,Z),( bc c,"tetrahedral" ,4,8):}`

C

`{:(X,X,Y,Z),( bc c,"tetrahedral" ,4,8):}`

D

`{:(X,X,Y,Z),( bc c,"octdedral" ,4,8):}`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
