Question
The spinal structure (AB2O4) consists of an fcc array of O2- ions in which the :
Options
A.A cation occupies one-eighth of the tetrahedral holes and B cation occupies one-half of octahedral holes
B.A cation occupies one-fourth of the tetrahedral holes and the B cations the octahedral holes
C.A cation occupies one-eighth of the octahedral hole and the B cation the tetrahedral holes
D.A cation occupies one-fourth of the octahedral holes and the B cations the tetrahedral holes
Solution
A → 
× 8 = 1, B → 4 × 
= 2 and O2- = 4 so formula of spinal = AB2O4
× 8 = 1, B → 4 × = 2 and O2- = 4 so formula of spinal = AB2O4 Create a free account to view solution
