What is the coordination number of an ion what is the coordination number of the cation (a) Na Cl structure and (b) Cs Cl structure explain the reason for this difference?

1 Answer

Answer :

The coordination number is six for Na in NaCl.The coordination number is eight for Cs in CsCl. The accepted explanation is that the ionic radii of cesium and chloride are very similar.
