Given information
The unit cells for lithium oxide and silver iodide are pictured.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Lithium oxide unit cell:
Oxygen forms a face-centered cubic unit cell.
Hence number of effective oxygen ions per unit cell:
The number of effective oxygen ions per unit cell in Lithium oxide is
The number of effective lithium ions per unit cell in Lithium oxide is
Thus the ratio of cation to anion in this unit cell
