Nevertheless, 11% of the hydrogen atoms were found at octahedral positions. According to calculations, this diversity in the sites reduced the symmetry, increasing the stability of the lattice.

The general formula is AB 2 O 4. The oxygens form an fcc lattice. The A cations occupy tetrahedral holes, and the B cation occupy octahedral holes. It then follows that 1/8 of the tetrahedral holes ...

Six balloons tied together in a bunch arrange themselves in an octahedral fashion. As balloons are popped the resulting number conforms to the molecular shapes of VSEPR theory. To Conduct ...
