Assertion:A tetrahedral void is surrounded by four spheres and an octahedral void is surrounded by six spheres. Reason:The number of tetrahedral voids is double the number of close packed spheres and number of octahedral voids is equal to number of close packed spheres.

Assertion (A) : A tetrahedral void is surrounded by six spheres. Reason (R) : In ionic solids, the bigger ions form the close packed structure and smaller ions occupy the voids.

Assertion: In a close packing of spheres, a tetrahedral void is surrounded by four spheres whereas an octahedral void is surrounded by six spheres. Reason: A tetrahedral void has a tetrahedral shape while an octahedral void has an octahedral shape
