Solution
The ionic radii of A+ and B− are 0.98 × 10−10 m and 1.81 × 10−10 m. The coordination number of each ion in AB is 6.
Explanation:
Given: Ionic radius of A+ = 0.98 × 10−10 m
Ionic radius of B− = 1.81 × 10−10 m
Formula: Radius ratio = `(rA^+)/(rB^-)`
= `(0.98 xx 10^(−10))/(1.81 xx 10^(−10))`
= 0.54 ≈ 6
∴ The coordination number of each ion in AB is 6.
