SECTION C
This section consists of 6multiple choice questions with an overall choice to attempt any5. In case
more than desirable number of questions are attempted, ONLY first 5 will be considered for
evaluation.

Direction (Q.50 to 52): Early crystallographers had trouble solving the structures of inorganic solids using X-ray
diffraction because some of the mathematical tools for analyzing the data had not yet been developed. Once a trial
structure was proposed, it was relatively easy to calculate the diffraction pattern, but it was difficult to go the other
way (from the diffraction pattern to the strucutre) if nothing was known a priori about the arrangement of atoms in
the unit cell. It was important to develop some guidelines for guessing the coordination numbers and bonding
geometries of atoms in crystals. The first such rules were proposed by Linus Pauling, who considered how one
might pack together oppositely charged spheres of different radii. Pauling proposed from geometric considerations
that the quality of the “fit” depended on the radius ratio of the anion and the cation.
If the anion is considered as the packing atom in the crystal, then the smaller cation fills interstitial sites
(“holes”). Cations will find arrangements in which they can contact the largest number of anions. If the cation can
touch all of its neaerst neighbour anions then the fit is good. If the cation is too small for a given site, that coordination
number will be unstable and it will prefer a lower coordination structure. The table below gives the ranges of cation/
anion radius ratios that give the best fit for a given coordination geometry.
Coordination number Geometry   rcation /ranion
2 Linear 0 – 0.155
3 Triangular 0.155 – 0.225
4 Tetrahedral 0.225 – 0.414
4 Square planar 0.414 – 0.732
6 Octahedral 0.414 – 0.732
8 Cubic 0.732 – 1.0
12 Cuboctahedral 1.0
