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 AB2(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 Cl ions but these Cl ions do not touch each other.

Reason : The radius ratio roe rNa/rCl- is greater than 0.414, required for exact fitting.

Assertion : The ratio of Zn2+ and F- per unit cell of ZnS and CaF2 is 1:2. 

Reason : In ZnS Zn2+ ions occupy alternate tetrahedral voids and in CaF2 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
