\frac{radius\; of\; octahedral\; void}{radius\; of \; atom}=0.414

radius\; of\; atom=\frac{150}{0.414}=362.3pm

 

Octahedral void -

Void form by touching 6 spheres. 4 atoms in same plane , 1 atom in upper plane and 1 in lower plane.

\frac{r}{R} = 0.414

- wherein

r = radius of void

 

R = radius of atom
