The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion (A) and reason (R) provided in the question, we will break down the concepts of coordination number and ionic radii in the context of NaCl and CsCl. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Coordination Number**: - The coordination number of an ion in a crystal lattice refers to the number of nearest neighbor ions surrounding it. In NaCl, the coordination number of the Cl⁻ ion is 6, while in CsCl, it is 8. 2. **Analyzing NaCl**: - In NaCl, the Na⁺ ions occupy octahedral voids in a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice formed by Cl⁻ ions. Each Cl⁻ ion is surrounded by 6 Na⁺ ions, leading to a coordination number of 6. 3. **Analyzing CsCl**: - In CsCl, the Cs⁺ ions occupy cubic voids in a simple cubic lattice formed by Cl⁻ ions. Each Cl⁻ ion is surrounded by 8 Cs⁺ ions, resulting in a coordination number of 8. 4. **Ionic Radii and Lattice Type**: - The ionic radii of ions can vary based on the type of lattice they are in. The ratio of the ionic radii (R₊/R₋) helps determine the type of lattice structure formed. - For NaCl, the ratio of the ionic radii (Na⁺ to Cl⁻) is between 0.414 and 0.7, indicating octahedral coordination. - For CsCl, the ratio is approximately 0.732, suggesting a cubic coordination. 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion (A) is true: Cl⁻ has a coordination number of 6 in NaCl and 8 in CsCl. - The reason (R) is also true: Ionic radii change with the type of lattice, which influences the coordination number. ### Final Statement: Both the assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ---
