According to the formula CrCl3 if there are 3 3Cl- ions, then there is 1Cr3+ ion.

Cl- ions have a ccp arrangement.

So total number of octahedral voids are equal to the number of ions in ccp i.e. 3

Number of tetrahedral voids are twice the no of ions in ccp i.e. 6

1Cr3+ ion will occupy octahedral void.

Total number of octahedral voids are 3

Fraction of octahedral voids occupied = 13

Total number of voids = Tetrahedral voids + Octahedral voids = 6 + 3 = 9

Fraction of total voids occupied = 19
