  1. A 2
  2. B 4
  3. C 6
  4. D 8
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, the radius ratio of anion to cation \(=10: 9.3\) \(\therefore\) The radius ratio of cation to anion \(=9.3: 10\) \(=0.93\) When the cation to anion ratio lie between 0.732 to 1.00 , the coordination number is 8 . Thus, the coordination number of the cation in the crystal…
