    The correct statement in the following is

    A)  The ionic crystal of \[AgBr\]has Schottky defect

    B)  The unit cell having crystal parameters, \[a=b\ne c,\] \[\alpha =\beta ={{90}^{o}},\] \[\gamma ={{120}^{o}}\]is hexagonal

    C)  In ionic compounds having Frenkel defect, the ratio \[{{r}_{+}}/{{r}_{-}}\] is high

    D)  The coordination number of \[N{{a}^{+}}\] ion in \[NaCl\]is 4

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    For hexagonal unit cell, the crystal parameters are \[a=b\ne c,\text{ }\alpha =\beta ={{90}^{o}},\]\[\gamma ={{120}^{o}}\] While coordination number of \[N{{a}^{+}}\] ion in \[NaCl\] is 6. \[AgBr\]mainly exhibit Frenkel defect and Frenkel defect does not affect the \[{{r}_{+}}/{{r}_{-}}\] ratio.
