A mineral having formula `AB_(2)` crystallises in the cubic close packed lattice, with the A atoms occupying the lattice points. Hence coordination number of A and B atoms are

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`4(8 - 4)`
It is fluorite `(CaF_(2))` strucutre. Since formula is `AB_(2)`
`rArr` No. of B atoms is twice the no. of A atoms. Hence B occupies all the tetrahedral voids (100%)
`{:(AB_(2) " is " (8 " : " 4)" compound (Fluorite Structure compound)",),(" "darr" "darr,),(" "C.N. "of" A " "C.N. "of "B,):}`
