Which compound has antifluorite structure?
Options
- AMnO ₄
- BNa ₂ O
- CNa ₂ O ₂
- DLi ₂ O ₂
Correct answer
B. Na ₂ O
Step-by-step solution
Anti-fluorite structure refers to an anion array with tetrahedral cations and the compound having A₂ B formula have anti-fluorite structure. So, Na ₂ O has an anti-fluorite structure in which Na ⁺ ions occupy all the tetrahedral voids and O ²⁻ occupy half of the cubic holes.
