    Predict coordination number of the cation in crystals of the following compounds:            
    1. \[MgO:{{r}_{c}}=0.65\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\,;\,\,{{r}_{a}}=1.40\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\]
    2. \[MgS:{{r}_{c}}=0.65\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\,;\,{{r}_{a}}=1.84\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\]

    A) 6, 4      

    B) 4, 6  

    C) 3, 4      

    D) 6, 8

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] For \[MgO,=\frac{{{r}_{c}}}{{{r}_{d}}}=\frac{0.65}{1.4}=0.47\] \[M{{g}^{2+}}\] is in octahedral void so C.N. = 6 For \[MgS,\frac{{{r}_{c}}}{{{r}_{a}}}=\frac{0.65}{1.84}=0.353\] \[M{{g}^{2+}}\] is in tetrahedral void so C.N. = 4
