Assertion : An important feature of Fluorite structures is that cations being large in size occupy FCC
lattice points whereas anions occupy all the tetrahedral voids giving the formula unit (A: cation B: anion).
Reason : There are 6 cations and 12 anions per FCC unit cell of the Fluorite structure.
Assertion : In NaCl crystal each Na ion is touching 6 ions but these ions do not touch each other.
Reason : The radius ratio roe is greater than 0.414, required for exact fitting.
Assertion : The ratio of and F- per unit cell of ZnS and is 1:2.
Reason : In ZnS ions occupy alternate tetrahedral voids and in F- ions occupy all the tetrahedral voids of FCC unit cell.
Assertion : The stability of a crystal gets reflected in its melting point.
Reason : The stability of a crystal depends upon the strength of the interparticle attractive force. The melting point of a solid depends on the strength of the attractive force acting between the constitutent particles.
Assertion : The melting point decreases in the order.
Water > ethyl alcohol > diethylether > methane
Reason : The strength of the intermolecular forces between these molecules follow the order
Water > ethyl alcohol > diethylether > methane
