What is the coordination number of octahedral voids?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the coordination number of octahedral voids, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Structure of Octahedral Voids An octahedral void is a type of interstitial site in a crystal lattice where smaller atoms can fit in between the larger atoms. ### Step 2: Visualize the Formation of Octahedral Voids The octahedral void is formed by two layers of atoms. In a typical arrangement, we can visualize the void as being surrounded by atoms from these two layers. ...
