Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion In sodium chloride crystal, the Na+ ion occupies the octahedral void with coordination no. of Na+ ion 6 while Cl− ions occupy the vertices of octahedron.
The radius ratio lies between 0.414 to 0.732 for coordination no. 6.
