Question
How is radius ratio ¡s useful in determination of structure of an Ionic compound?
✓
Answer
- The structure of an ionic compound depends upon the stoichiometry and the size of the ions.
- Generally in ionic crystals, the bigger anions are present in the close packed arrangements the cations occupy the voids.
- The ratio of radius of cation and anion plays an important role in determining the structure.
- For Eg;
