Question
The ionic radii of A+ and B- ions are 0.98 x 10-10 m and 1.81 x10-10 m. The coordination number of each ions in AB is
-
4
-
8
-
2
-
6
Solution
D.
6
Given, ionic radius of cation (A+) =0.98 x 10-10m
Ionic radius of anion (B-)=1.81 x 10-10m
therefore,
The coordination number of each ion in AB =?
Now we have.
If radius ratio range is in between 0.441-0.732 ion would have an octahedral structure with coordination number six.
