In the closest packing of atoms

A

The size of tetrahedral void is greater than that of octahedral void

B

The size of tetrahedral void is smaller than that of octahedral void

C

The size of tetrahedral void is equal to that of octahedral void

D

The size of tetrahedral void may be greater or smaller or equal to that of octahedral void

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D
For a given radius of anion (R), we have `(( r)/( R))_(oct) gt (( r)/( R))_(td)`
`implies` Hence, the size of octahedral void is larger than that of tetrahedral void.
