A crystal is made up of metal ions

{M_1}

and

{M_2}

and oxide ions. Oxide ions form a ccp lattice structure. The cation

{M_1}

occupies 50 % of octahedral voids and the cation

{M_2}

occupies 12.5% of tetrahedral voids of oxide lattice. The oxidation numbers of

{M_1}

and

{M_2}

are, respectively

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

+2, + 4

Option D (+4, +2) is correct because, based on the stoichiometry derived from the void occupancy, the charges must balance to maintain electrical neutrality.
