The co-ordination number of a $M^{+ 2}$ in $M X_{2}$ is 8 . Hence co-ordination number of $X^{-}$ is

Answer:

Solution:

The ratio of coordination numbers is inversely proportional to the ratio of ions. For $M X_{2}$ , $CN (M^{2 +}) / CN (X^{-}) = 2/1$ .

Given $CN (M^{2 +}) = 8$ , $CN (X^{-}) = 8/2 = 4$ .
