Antifluorite structure is for `:`

A

Octahedral voids

B

Centre of cube

C

Tetrahedral voids

D

Corners of cube.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In antifluorite structure the oxide ions (Anions) form a face-centered cubic array and the metal ions (cations) fill half the tetrahedral voids. Example. `Na_(2)O`
