Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Find the compound which is most likely to crystallize in the fluorite structure.

Concept introduction:

In crystallography,the crystal structure is anexplanationof atoms, ions or moleculesin a crystalline material inan ordered manner.Ordered structures arise from the intrinsic nature of the essential particles to produce symmetric patterns whichrepeat along the direction of principles of 3-D space in the matter.
