    In normal spinel structures \[MgA{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{4}},\] the percentage of tetrahedral void occupied is

    A)  12.5%                                  

    B)  25%            

    C)  50%                                      

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Oxygen forms fee structure in which \[\theta ={{45}^{o}}\] occupies tetrahedral voids and \[K={{K}_{R}}+{{K}_{T}}=\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] ions occupies octahedral void per unit cell. Total number of tetrahedral voids \[=\frac{1}{2}\,\left[ \frac{2}{5}\,m{{r}^{2}} \right]{{\omega }^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}\,m{{r}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{5}m{{r}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}m{{r}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}\] % tetrahedral void occupied \[=\frac{7}{10}m{{r}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}\] = 12. 5%
