Question

Which among the following crystal lattices occupies all of the cubic holes by cations?

Options

• UO₂

• CsCI

• CaF₂

• SrCl₂

Answer 1

CsCI

Explanation:

Cations inhabited all of the cubic holes in CsCI crystal lattices. A single atom in the cube's centre belongs to this unit cell, and the unit cell has only one body centre. As a result, the compound's formula is CsCI, which stands for body-centred cubic cell. Particles are present in the corners of the cube, as well as one particle in the centre of the body, in this sort of cell.
