The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the incorrect statement regarding coordination numbers under varying conditions, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Coordination Number**: - The coordination number refers to the number of nearest neighboring atoms or ions surrounding a central atom in a crystal lattice. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - **Statement**: "At high pressure, the coordination number increases from 6 to 8." - **Analysis**: When pressure increases, atoms are forced closer together, leading to a higher coordination number. This statement is correct. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - **Statement**: "At high pressure, the coordination number decreases from 8 to 6." - **Analysis**: This contradicts the first statement. Under high pressure, the coordination number does not decrease; it actually increases. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. 4. **Analyzing Statement 3**: - **Statement**: "At high temperature, the coordination number decreases from 8 to 6." - **Analysis**: As temperature increases, particles gain energy and move more vigorously, which can lead to a decrease in the coordination number as they move further apart. This statement is correct. 5. **Analyzing Statement 4**: - **Statement**: "At 760 Kelvin, the temperature of CsCl changes to NaCl structure." - **Analysis**: CsCl has a coordination number of 8, while NaCl has a coordination number of 6. As temperature increases, the coordination number can decrease, which aligns with the behavior of the structures. This statement is also correct. 6. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statement among the options provided is **Statement 2**: "At high pressure, the coordination number decreases from 8 to 6." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is: **"At high pressure, the coordination number decreases from 8 to 6."**
