Linear void
This type of void is formed when two large atoms (anions)
are arranged linearly. A small atom (cation) can occupy this void. |
|
Trigonal planer void
Void space among three atoms of same size in a plane is known as trigonal planer void |
|
Tetrahedral planer void
If one atom is placed over three other atoms which are in
contact, then space available among four atoms is called tetrahedral
void. |
|
Square planer void
Void space available between four atoms in contact is square planer void |
|
Octahedral void
It we put four atoms in a plane which are in contact and
put one atom above and one below then, void available among six atoms is
called octahedral void |
|
Cubical void
If we put four atoms in one plane which are in contact and
put another four atom over it, then space available is cubical void. |
