To solve the question regarding the antifluorite structure and the position of cations, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Antifluorite Structure**: - The antifluorite structure is a type of crystal lattice where the cations and anions are arranged in a specific manner. It can be represented as A2B, where A represents the cation and B represents the anion. 2. **Identifying the Positions of Ions**: ...
