To determine which of the given crystals does not have all tetrahedral voids occupied, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze NaCl - **Structure**: NaCl consists of sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻). - **Lattice Arrangement**: In NaCl, the Na⁺ ions occupy the face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice, while the Cl⁻ ions occupy the octahedral voids. - **Tetrahedral Voids**: In NaCl, tetrahedral voids are not specifically mentioned as being occupied. - **Conclusion**: NaCl does not occupy all tetrahedral voids. ...
