For the structure of solid given below, ...

For the structure of solid given below, if the lattice points represent `A^(+)` ions and the `B^(-)` ioins occupy the tetrahedral voids, then coordination number of `A` is `:`

A

2

B

4

C

6

D

8

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
It is fluorite type structure in which co-ordination no. of A like that of `F^(-)`ions is 8.
