Solid State - Result Question 26

####26. If the unit cell of a mineral has cubic close packed (ccp) array of oxygen atoms with m fraction of octahedral holes occupied by aluminium ions and n fraction of tetrahedral holes occupied by magnesium ions, m and n respectively, are

(a) 12,18

(b) 1,14

(c) 12,12

(d) 14,18

Answer:

Correct Answer: 26. (a)

Solution:

  1. Oxide ions are at ccp positions, hence 4O2 ions. Also, there are four octahedral voids and eight tetrahedral voids. Since ’ m ’ fraction of octahedral voids contain Al3+ and ’ n ’ fraction of tetrahedral voids contain Mg2+ ions, to maintain etectroneutrality 2(2Al3+=+6 charge ) and (Mg2+=+2 charge ), will make unit cell neutral

Hence: m=24=12,n=18
