Cesium chloride is more stable than sodium chloride. Assign reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It may be remembered that higher the value of the C.N., more will be forces of attraction in the closely packed cations and anions and, thus, greater will be the stability of the crystal lattice. Cesium chloride has higher C.N. `(8:8)` than in sodium chloride `(6:6)` and is therefore, more stable is nature.
