Solid State Question 241

Question: If the value of ionic radius ratio $ ( \frac{r _{c}}{r _{a}} ) $ is 0.52 in an ionic compound, the geometrical arrangement of ions in crystal is

Options:

A) Tetrahedral

B) Planar

C) Octahedral

D) Pyramidal

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

The value of ionic radius ratio is 0.52 which is between $ 0.414-0.732, $ then the geometrical arrangement of ions in crystal is octahedral.
