The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which structure is not correctly matched, we will analyze each of the given options one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Option:** - The first option states that in sodium chloride (NaCl) type, chloride ions are in a close-packed (CPP) structure and sodium ions are in half octahedral holes. - **Correct Information:** In NaCl, chloride ions are actually arranged in a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure, and sodium ions occupy half of the octahedral holes. - **Conclusion:** This option is incorrectly matched. 2. **Analyze the Second Option:** - The second option mentions that in zinc sulfide (ZnS) type, zinc sulfide is a zinc blende structure. - **Correct Information:** In ZnS, the sulfide ions are in a cubic close-packed (CCP) structure, and zinc ions occupy alternate tetrahedral voids. - **Conclusion:** This option is correctly matched. 3. **Analyze the Third Option:** - The third option states that in calcium fluoride (CaF2), calcium fluoride is a fluoride type structure. - **Correct Information:** In CaF2, calcium ions are arranged in a CCP structure, and fluoride ions occupy all the tetrahedral voids. - **Conclusion:** This option is correctly matched. 4. **Analyze the Fourth Option:** - The fourth option indicates that in sodium oxide (Na2O) type, sodium oxide is an anti-fluoride structure. - **Correct Information:** In Na2O, oxide ions are arranged in a CCP structure, and sodium ions occupy all the tetrahedral holes. - **Conclusion:** This option is correctly matched. ### Final Conclusion: After analyzing all the options, we find that the first option is the only one that is not correctly matched. Therefore, the answer to the question is: **The first option is not correctly matched.** ---
