In an antiflourite structure, cations occupy

A

Octahedral voids

B

Centre of cube

C

Tetrahedral voids

D

Corners of cube

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In antifluorite structure the oxide ions (anions) form a face-centered cubic array and the metal ions (cations) fill half the tetrahedral voids. Example : `Na_(2)O`
