If we know the ionic radius ratio in a crystal of ionic solid, what can be known of the following?

Ionic radii are

The range of radius ratio (cation to anion) for an octahedral arrrangement of ions in an ionic solid is

Account for the following: A cation is always smaller that its parent atom.

Assertion: According to Kohlrausch's law, the molar conductance of a strong electrolyte at infinite dilution is sum ofmolar conductivities of its ions. Reason: The current carried by cation and anion is always equal.

The ionic radii of Rb^(+) and l- are 1.47 and 2.16A^(@) respectively. The most probable type of geometry exhibited by Rbl on the basis of radius ratio rule is
