Predictions of Crystal Structure Based on Radius Ratio: How Reliable Are They?
Nathan, Lawrence C.
Journal of Chemical Education, v62 n3 p215-18 Mar 1985
Discussion of crystalline solids in undergraduate curricula often includes the use of radius ratio rules as a method for predicting which type of crystal structure is likely to be adopted by a given ionic compound. Examines this topic, establishing more definitive guidelines for the use and reliability of the rules. (JN)
