Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine how many times larger an octahedral void is compared to a tetrahedral void, we can use the radius ratio rule. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Tetrahedral void**: A type of void in a crystal lattice that is formed when four atoms surround a central void, forming a tetrahedron. - **Octahedral void**: A type of void in a crystal lattice that is formed when six atoms surround a central void, forming an octahedron. ### Step 2: Identify the Radius Ratio Ranges Using the radius ratio rule, we can identify the ranges for different types of voids: ...
