QNEET-2016-Ch-1010: NEET 2016 Chemistry - Class 12 NEET-2016-Ch-1010 Solution: The ionic radii of \(A^+\) and \(B^-\) ions are \(0.98…

The ionic radii of A+A^+ and B−B^- ions are 0.98×10−10 m0.98 \times 10^{-10}\ \text{m} and 1.81×10−10 m1.81 \times 10^{-10}\ \text{m}. The coordination number of each ion in AB is 8 2 6 4

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 8
  • B 2
  • C 6
  • D 4

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

From radius ratio, r + r _ = 0.98 _ 10 _ 10 1.81 _ 10 _ 10 = 0.541 It lies in the range of 0.414 to 0.732 hence coordination number of each ion will be 6 as the compound will have NaCl type structure i.e., octahedral arrangement.
