1.	Out of NaCl and CsCl, which on is more stable and why ?
Answer» Solution :CsCl is more stable than NaCl. This is because higher the coordiantion number, greater are the FORCES of attraction between the CATIONS a ND the anions in the close-placked arrangement . As CsCl has co-ordination numder of 8 : 8 while NaCl has a coordination number of 6:6 , THEREFORE, CsCl is more stable.
