Assertion:A tetrahedral void is surround...

Assertion:A tetrahedral void is surrounded by four spheres and an octahedral void is surrounded by six spheres.
Reason:The number of tetrahedral voids is double the number of close packed spheres and number of octahedral voids is equal to number of close packed spheres.

A

If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct explanation for assertion

C

If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect

D

If both assertion and reason are incorrect

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Correct Reason A tetrahedral hole is so called because it is surrounded by four spheres tetrahedrally while the octahedral hole is so called because it is surrounded by six spheres octahedrally
