A

Bigger ions form the close packed structure.

B

Smaller ions occupy either the tetrahedral or the octahedral voids depending upon their size.

C

Occupation of all the voids is not necessary.

D

The fraction of octahedral or tetrahedral voids occupied depends upon the radii of the ions occupying the voids.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

In ionic solids, smaller ions occupy the voids, and this depends on stoichiometry of the compounds not on the radius of ions
