The coordination number of cation occupying an octahedral void is ? A. 4 B. 6 C.8 D. 12
Dear Student,
Please find below the solution of your asked query:
Octahedral voids are formed by combination of voids of two triangular layers of atoms, when one triangular layer is placed above another, as shown below:
Hence the coordination number of the cation occupying the octahedral void is 6.
Therefore, option (B) is correct.
Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic.
Keep asking!!
