As we learned in concept

Radius ratio of ions = \frac{r_{cation}}{r_{anion}}\:=\:\frac{0.98}{1.81}\:=\:0.541

This radius ratio lies between 0.441-0.732 which gives us the octahedral structure and coordination number 6.


Option 1)

6

This option is correct.

Option 2)

4

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

8

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

2

ANS IS 6

BECAUSE 0.98A IS THE IONIC RADIUS OF NA+ AND IN GENERALY WE HAVE NACL AS A SALT SO CL- IS HAVING 1.98A

SO BY DIVDING A/B WE GET 6
