a mineral having formula AB2 crystallises in the ccp lattice, with A atoms ocupying the lattice points.
what is the coordination numer of A and B atoms
Since Atoms A are at the lattice points they have Coordination no. = 8
And coordination no. of B atoms = 4
This unit cell is of fluorite structure.
