Question

The rutile and fluorite structures, shown here (anions are
colored green), are two of the most common structure types
of ionic compounds where the cation to anion ratio is 1 : 2.
(a) For CaF2 and ZnF2 use ionic radii, Ca2+ 1r = 1.14 A° 2,
Zn2+ 1r = 0.88 A° 2, and F- 1r = 1.19 A° 2, to predict which
compound is more likely to crystallize with the fluorite
structure and which with the rutile structure. (b) What are
the coordination numbers of the cations and anions in each
of these structures?
