The correct Answer is:
To determine in which of the following structures the coordination number for cations and anions in the packed structure will be the same, we need to analyze each option carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Coordination Number**: - The coordination number is the number of nearest neighbors surrounding a central atom in a crystal structure. For ionic compounds, it refers to how many oppositely charged ions surround a given ion. 2. **Analyzing Option A: NaCl**: - In NaCl, sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻) are arranged in a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice. - Each Na⁺ ion is surrounded by 6 Cl⁻ ions and vice versa. - Therefore, the coordination number for Na⁺ is 6 and for Cl⁻ is also 6. - **Conclusion**: Coordination numbers are the same. 3. **Analyzing Option B: CaF₂**: - In CaF₂, calcium ions (Ca²⁺) occupy the FCC lattice, while fluoride ions (F⁻) occupy the tetrahedral voids. - Each Ca²⁺ ion is surrounded by 8 F⁻ ions, but each F⁻ ion is surrounded by only 4 Ca²⁺ ions. - **Conclusion**: Coordination numbers are not the same. 4. **Analyzing Option C: Na₂O**: - In Na₂O, oxide ions (O²⁻) are in an FCC lattice, and sodium ions (Na⁺) occupy the tetrahedral voids. - Each O²⁻ ion is surrounded by 4 Na⁺ ions, but each Na⁺ ion is surrounded by 4 O²⁻ ions. - **Conclusion**: Coordination numbers are not the same. 5. **Analyzing Option D: ZnS**: - In ZnS, zinc ions (Zn²⁺) occupy the FCC lattice, while sulfide ions (S²⁻) occupy the tetrahedral voids. - Each Zn²⁺ ion is surrounded by 4 S²⁻ ions, and each S²⁻ ion is surrounded by 4 Zn²⁺ ions. - **Conclusion**: Coordination numbers are the same. 6. **Final Answer**: - The structures where the coordination number for cations and anions is the same are: - Option A: NaCl - Option D: ZnS ### Summary: The correct options where the coordination number for cations and anions is the same are A (NaCl) and D (ZnS).
