The fraction of voids occupied in the inverse spinel compounds are
Options
- A1 8 th of tetrahedral voids and 1 2 of octahedral voids.
- B1 2 of tetrahedral voids and 1 8 th of octahedral voids.
- C1 4 th of tetrahedral voids and 1 8 th of octahedral voids.
- D1 8 th of tetrahedral voids and 1 4 th of octahedral voids.
Correct answer
A. 1 8 th of tetrahedral voids and 1 2 of octahedral voids.
Step-by-step solution
The formula of inverse spinels is AB 2 O 4 . The A II ions occupy the octahedral voids, whereas one-half of B III ions occupies the tetrahedral voids and the other half occupies the octahedral sites.
