### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Define Radius Ratio** The radius ratio is defined as the ratio of the radius of a cation (the positively charged ion) to the radius of an anion (the negatively charged ion). Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \text{Radius Ratio} = \frac{r_c^+}{r_a^-} \] where \( r_c^+ \) is the radius of the cation and \( r_a^- \) is the radius of the anion. ...
