    In fluorite structure \[(Ca{{F}_{2}})\]

    A) \[C{{a}^{++}}\] ions are ccp and \[{{F}^{-}}\] ions are present in all the tetrahedral voids

    B) \[C{{a}^{++}}\] ions are ccp and \[{{F}^{-}}\] ions are present in all the octahedral voids

    C) \[C{{a}^{++}}\] ions are ccp and \[{{F}^{-}}\] ions are present in all the octahedral voids and half of ions are in the tetrahedral voids   

    D) None 

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[C{{a}^{2+}}\] ions are ccp and \[{{F}^{-}}\] ions are present in the tetrahedral voids. So, the no. of \[C{{a}^{2+}}\] ions is 4 and no. \[{{F}^{-}}\] ions is 8. So, the formula of the calcium fluoride \[C{{a}_{4}}{{F}_{8}}\] or the simplest formula of calcium fluoride is \[Ca{{F}_{2}}\].
