In `CaF_2` crystal, `Ca^(2+)` ions are present in FCC arrangment . Calculate the number of `F^-` ions in the unit cell.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the number of `F^-` ions in the unit cell of `CaF_2`, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Arrangement of Ions**: - In `CaF_2`, the `Ca^(2+)` ions are arranged in a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. This means that the `Ca^(2+)` ions occupy the lattice points of the FCC unit cell. 2. **Calculate the Number of `Ca^(2+)` Ions in the Unit Cell**: ...
