The assertion is wrong.
Explanation:
- In crystal lattice, there are specific arrangement of cations and anions.
- The anions are generally larger than the cations, so the geometry of the crystal is mainly formed by the anions.
- The cations are spaced in the voids that are between the cations.
- There are two types of voids - tetrahedral and octahedral.
- When 4 spheres touch each other in 3D space, the tetrahedral void is formed between them.
- When 6 spheres touch each other in 3D space, the octahedral void is formed between them.
- If we calculate the geometry, then the radius ratio of the tetrahedral void is 0.225
- Whereas the radius ratio octahedral void is 0.414.
- So the octahedral void is larger than the tetrahedral void.
- So the statement is wrong.
