The A^(+) ion and B^(-) have radii 88 pm and 200 pm respectively. In the close packed crystal of compound AB, predict the coordination number of A^(+).

Answer»

SOLUTION :In the compound AB, A+ ions occupy the close packed lattice formed by `B^(-)`ions. The radius RATIO is:
`(r^(+))/(r^(-))= (88)/(200)= 0.44`
Since radius ratio LIES between 0-414 to 0.732.
`:.` Co-ordination of `A^(+) = 6`
