For the structure of solid given below if the lattice points represent A+ ions & the B– ions occupy all the tetrahedral voids then coordination number of A is
A.2
B.4
C.6
D.8✓ Correct
Explanation
This structure is a Fluorite type of ionic crystal in which A+ is present in lattice sites and B⁻ is present in tetrahedral voids. So, the coordination number for A+ is 8 and the coordination number for B⁻ is 4.
