Assertion: In a crystal, the size of the cation is larger in a tetrahedral hole than in an octahedral hole.
Reason: Cations occupy more space than atoms in crystal packing

A

If both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the true explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true , but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Correct A.Octahedral hole is larger in size than tetrahedral hole.
Correct R. Cations are generally smaller. They occupy the voids and hence occupy less space.
