Question

The ionic radii of $A^{+}$ and $B^{-}$ are $1.7 A^{\circ}$ and $1.8 A^{\circ}$ respectively. Find the coordination number of $A^{+}$ .

Open in App

Solution

Radius ratio = $\frac{r a d i u s o f c a t i o n}{r a d i u s o f a n i o n} = \frac{1.7}{1.8}$ = 0.94
Since the ratio lies between 0.732 to 1, we can say that we are talking about a cubic void i.e. the coordination number is 8.
