The `Ca^(2+)` and `F^(-)` ions located in `CaF_(2)` crystal respectively at `f.c.c.` lattice points and in`:`
A. octahedral voids
B. tetrahedral voids
C. half of octahedral voids
D. half of tetrahedral voids
A. octahedral voids
B. tetrahedral voids
C. half of octahedral voids
D. half of tetrahedral voids
Correct Answer – b
In `CaF_(2)`, the `Ca^(2+)` ions are present at all the corners and the centre of each face of the cube. The `F^(-)` ions occupy the tetrahedral sites.
