In the crystal lattice of `CsCl,CS^(+)` ions are present at theA. `Cs^(+)` forms a simple cubic lattice. `Cl^(-)` forms a simple cubic latticeB. `Cl^(-)` occupies body centre of `Cs^(+)`C. `Cs^(+)` occupies body centre of `Cl^(-)`D. It is impossible for `Cl^(-)` to occupy body centre of `Cs^(+)` because the body centre void of `Cs^(+)` is smaller than the `Cl^(-)` ion size. |

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C In CsCl, the coordination number is 8. Here `Cl^(-)` forms BCC packing with `Cs^(+)` occupying body centre voids or `Cs^(+)` forms SCC packing with `Cl^(-)` occupying body centred voids. |
