NEET Solved Paper 2016 Question 32

Question: The ionic radii of $ {A^{+}} $ and $ {B^{}} $ ions are $ 0.98\times 10{{}^{10}}m $ and $ 1.81\times 10^{10}\text{ m}. $ The coordination number of each ion in AB is :-

Options:

A) 6

B) 4

C) 8

D) 2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • $ \text{radio ratio = }\frac{{r _{+}}}{{r _{-}}}=\frac{0.98\times {10^{-10}}}{1.81\times {10^{-10}}}=0.54 $ radii ratio is in between 0.414 to 0.732 so, coordination number is 6
