The radius of a calcium ion is 94 pm and of the oxide ion is 146 pm. The possible crystal structure of calcium oxide will be

Answer»

tetrahedral
trigonal
octahedral
pyramidal

Solution :As per formula,
radius ratio`=("radius of cation")/("radius of anion")`
`=(94)/(146)=0.643`
Since the value is between 0.414 - 0. 732 hence thecoordination no. will be 6 and GEOMETRY will beoctahedral
