The well know mineral flourite is chemically calcium fluoride. It is a well known fact that in one unit cell of this mineral, there are four Ca^(2+) ions and eight F^(-) ions and Ca^(2+) ions are arranged in f.c.c. lattice. The F^(-) ions fill all the tetrahedral holes in the face centred cubic lattice of Ca^(2+) ions. The edge length of the unit cell is 5.46xx10^(-8) cm. The density of the solid is 3.18"g cm"^(-3) . Use this information to calculate Avogadro's number (Molar mass of CaF_(2)=78.0"g mol"^(-1) )

In water NaCl splits into Na^(+) and Cl^(2+) ions.

Crystal structure of the oxide AB_(2)O_(4) is bassed on the cubic close packed (ccp) array of O^(2-) ions, with A^(2+) ions occupying some tetrahedral voids and B^(3+) ions occupying some octahedral voids. If a crystal of this oxide contains 1 mol AB_(2)O_(4) formula unit, then calculate (1) total number of voids in the crystal (2) total number of tetrahedral voids occupied by A^(2+) ions (3) total number of octahedral voids occupied by B^(3+) ions.
