The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given ionic compounds have a coordination number of either the cation or anion equal to 6 or more, we will analyze each compound one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **ZnS**: - In ZnS, the cation is Zn²⁺ and the anion is S²⁻. - The coordination number for both Zn²⁺ and S²⁻ is 4. - **Conclusion**: Coordination number is not 6 or more. 2. **KCl**: - In KCl, the cation is K⁺ and the anion is Cl⁻. - The coordination number for both K⁺ and Cl⁻ is 6. - **Conclusion**: Coordination number is equal to 6. 3. **K₂O**: - In K₂O, the cation is K⁺ and the anion is O²⁻. - The coordination number for K⁺ is 4 and for O²⁻ is 8. - **Conclusion**: Coordination number is 8 (for O²⁻). 4. **CsBr**: - In CsBr, the cation is Cs⁺ and the anion is Br⁻. - The coordination number for both Cs⁺ and Br⁻ is 8. - **Conclusion**: Coordination number is 8. 5. **NaBr**: - In NaBr, the cation is Na⁺ and the anion is Br⁻. - The coordination number for both Na⁺ and Br⁻ is 6. - **Conclusion**: Coordination number is equal to 6. 6. **CaF₂**: - In CaF₂, the cation is Ca²⁺ and the anion is F⁻. - The coordination number for Ca²⁺ is 8 and for F⁻ is 4. - **Conclusion**: Coordination number is 8 (for Ca²⁺). ### Summary of Coordination Numbers: - ZnS: 4 (not counted) - KCl: 6 (counted) - K₂O: 8 (counted) - CsBr: 8 (counted) - NaBr: 6 (counted) - CaF₂: 8 (counted) ### Total Count: The total number of ionic compounds with a coordination number of either cation or anion equal to 6 or more is **5**. ### Final Answer: **5** ---

To determine how many of the given ionic compounds have a coordination number of either the cation or anion equal to 6 or more, we will analyze each compound one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **ZnS**: - In ZnS, the cation is Zn²⁺ and the anion is S²⁻. - The coordination number for both Zn²⁺ and S²⁻ is 4. - **Conclusion**: Coordination number is not 6 or more. ...
