question mark

(a) In a crystalline solid having molecular formula A2B anion B are arranged in cubic close packed lattice and cations A are equally distributed between octahedral and tetrahedral voids

(i) What percentage of octahedral voids is occupied?

(ii) What percentage of tetrahedral voids is occupied?

no. of  B ions = 4    [cubic closed packed]

no . of octahedral voids = 4 

no. of tetrahedral voids = 8 

 

since the molecular formula is A2B 

so no. of A ions = 8 

4 in tetrahedral' 4 in octahedral 

 

hence percentage of octahedral void occupied = 100

percentage of tetrahedral void occupied = 50
