    In rutile structure coordination number of cation and anion are, respectively,

    A) \[6,\text{ }3\]            

    B)        \[3,\,\,6\]                   

    C)   \[6,\,\,4\]                   

    D)        \[4,\,\,6\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

      [a] In rutile \[(Ti{{O}_{2}})\] each \[T{{i}^{4+}}\] ion is octahedrally surrounded by six \[{{O}^{2-}}\]ions whereas each \[{{O}^{2-}}\] ion is surrounded by only there \[T{{i}^{4+}}\] ions, arranged at the there comers of a plane triangle. The C.N. of \[T{{i}^{4+}}\] and \[{{O}^{2-}}\] ion are 6 and 3 respectively. Formula is \[T{{i}_{3}}^{4+}{{O}_{6}}^{2-}\Rightarrow 2Ti{{O}_{2}}\] CN of cation = Number of anions CN of anion = number of cations
