(A) Trigonal void (I) 8
(B) Tetrahedral void (II) 6
(C) Octahedral void (III) 4
(D) Cubical void (IV) 3
Options:

(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(I)

(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)

(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).

List I

Type of Void

List II

Coordination number

(A) Trigonal void (IV) 3
(B) Tetrahedral void (III) 4
(C) Octahedral void (II) 6
(D) Cubical void (I) 8

Trigonal void (2-D void): These voids are formed due to surrounding of three spheres in same plane whose centres are at corners of a triangle. Coordination number of a particle present in trigonal void = 3

Tetrahedral void (T-voids): These voids are formed due to close packing of one corner atom and three adjacent face-centered atoms in a cubic unit cell. Surrounding spheres are located at the corners of a regular tetrahedron. Coordination number = 4

Octahedral voids (O-voids): These voids are formed due to overlapping of two trigonal voids of adjacent layers. Surrounding spheres are located at the corners of an octahedron. Coordination number = 6

Cubical voids: These voids are formed by close packing of eight corner atoms in a simple cubic unit cell. Coordination number = 8
