In A+ B- ionic compound, radii of A+ and B- ions are 180 pm and 187 pm respectively. The crystal structure of this compound will be..........(A) NaCl type(B) CsCl type(C) ZnS type(D) B2O3 type

Answer»

Correct answer is: (B) CsCl type

r+/ r = \(\cfrac{180}{187}\)= 0.962 which lies in the range of 

0.732-1.000.

Hence, 

coordination number = 8 i.e., the

structure is CsCl type.
