Crystals possessing CsCl structure change to NaCl structure upon heating. Give a suitable explanation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A crystalline solid AB having CsCl structure has `8:8` co-ordination of its constituents. When heated, its co-ordination changes to `6:6`. Therefore, it acquires NaCl structure upon heating.
