  • question_answer
    In spinel structure, ratio of tetrahedral to octahedral voids occupied and unoccupied are respectively

    A) \[1:2\]and \[2:1\]

    B)        \[7:2\]and \[1:2\]

    C) \[2:1\]and \[2:1\]     

    D)        \[2:7\]and \[2:1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Spinel structure: \[{{A}^{+2}}{{B}_{2}}^{3+}{{O}_{4}}^{2-}\] Number of \[{{A}^{+2}}\] ions \[=\frac{1}{8}\times TV's=\frac{1}{8}\times 8=1\] (1 T.V is occupied) Number of \[{{B}^{+3}}\] ions \[=\frac{1}{2}\times OV's=\frac{1}{2}\times 4=2\] (2 OV's are occupied) Number of TV's unoccupied \[=8-1=7\] Number of OV's unoccupied \[=4-2=2\] \[\therefore \,\,\left( \frac{TV}{OV} \right)\] unoccupied \[=7:2\] \[\left( \frac{TV}{OV} \right)\]occupied \[=1:2\]
