Sodium chloride crystallises into F.C.C lattice with Na occupying corner of a cube and the centre of each face, whereas Cl^(-) is occupies the centre of each edge and centre of the cube. The r_c //r_a value for NaCl is 0.53 and coordination number is 6. If all the face centred ions along one of the axis are removed, the stoichiometry of the resulting solid is

Sodium chloride crystallises into F.C.C lattice with Na occupying corn

1.	Sodium chloride crystallises into F.C.C lattice with Na occupying corner of a cube and the centre of each face, whereas Cl^(-) is occupies the centre of each edge and centre of the cube. The r_c //r_a value for NaCl is 0.53 and coordination number is 6. If all the face centred ions along one of the axis are removed, the stoichiometry of the resulting solid is
