Assertion: In a crystal, the size of the cation is larger in a tetrahedral hole than in an octahedral hole.
Reason: Cations occupy more space than atoms in crystal packing

The questions given below consist of an assertion and the reason. Use the following key to choose the appropriate answer. (a) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion. (b) The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.(c) Assertion is is CORRECT but reason is INCORRECT. (d) If assertion is INCORRECT but reason is CORRECT. (e)If both assertion and reason are INCORRECT. Assertion: Size of cation is larger in tetrahedral voids than in octahedral void. Reason: The cations occupy more space than anions in crystal close packing.

Statement 1: In crystal lattice, the size of the tetrahedral void is larger than an octahedral void. Statement 2: The cations occupy less space than anions in crystal packing.
