NaCl is a AB type of solid . Its crystalline structure is known as rock salt structure in which r_"Na"^+ and r_"Cl"^- are 95 and 181 pm respectively , where Cl^- is present at the lattice point of face centered cubic unit cell Na^+ ions are located in void and those compounds which have same crystalline structure also have same coordination system in which Na^+ and Cl^- ions are surrounded by certain number of opposite ions respectively.
