Question

In CsCl stricture, the coordination number of `Cs^(+)` is
A. Equal of that of `Cl^(-)` , that is 6
B. Equla to that of `Cl^(-)` , that is 8
C. Not equla to that of `Cl^(-)` , that is 6
D. Not equla to that of `Cl^(-)` , that is 8

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
Radius ratio range `0.732-1.00` signifies co-ordination number 8 . In CsCl, co-ordination number ratio is 8 : 8.
