The coordination number of lithium in Li2O ( anti fluorite type lattice ) is 4.
- The anti fluorite structure has the face centred cubic (FCC) packing of anions.
- All the tetrahedral sites formed are occupied by the cations.
- Here, cation is Lithium and anion is oxygen.
- Since Lithium occupies all the tetrahedral sites, so, the coordination number of Lithium is 4 and the coordination number of oxygen is 8.
