Which is not the correct statement for ionic solids in which positive and negative ions are held by strong electrostatic attractive forces ?

Answer»

The radius ratio `r_+//r_-`increases as coordination number increases
As the difference in size of IONS increases, coordination number increases
When coordination number is EIGHT, `(r_+)/ (r_-)`ratio LIES between 0-225 to 0.414
In ionic solid of the type AX (ZnS, Wurtzite), the coordination number of `Zn^(2+)` and `S^(2-)` respectively are 4 and 4

Solution : When coordination number is 8, `r_+ //r_-` ratio lies between 0.732-1
