The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the example of a fluorite structure, we need to understand the characteristics of the fluorite structure and analyze the given options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fluorite Structure**: - The fluorite structure is characterized by the formula AB2, where A is the cation and B is the anion. - A common example of a compound with a fluorite structure is calcium fluoride (CaF2). 2. **Analyzing the Given Options**: - We have the following options: NaF, SrF2, AlCl3, and SiF4. - We need to determine which of these compounds fits the AB2 structure. 3. **Checking Each Option**: - **NaF**: This has a 1:1 ratio of Na+ to F-, which does not fit the AB2 structure. - **SrF2**: This has a 1:2 ratio of Sr2+ to F-, which fits the AB2 structure. - **AlCl3**: This has a 1:3 ratio of Al3+ to Cl-, which does not fit the AB2 structure. - **SiF4**: This has a 1:4 ratio of Si4+ to F-, which does not fit the AB2 structure. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the given options, **SrF2** is the only compound that fits the fluorite structure (AB2 type). ### Final Answer: The example of fluorite structure is **SrF2**. ---
