In the crystal lattice of `CsCl,CS^(+)` ions are present at the

A

`Cs^(+)` forms a simple cubic lattice. `Cl^(-)` forms a simple cubic lattice

B

`Cl^(-)` occupies body centre of `Cs^(+)`

C

`Cs^(+)` occupies body centre of `Cl^(-)`

D

It is impossible for `Cl^(-)` to occupy body centre of `Cs^(+)` because the body centre void of `Cs^(+)` is smaller than the `Cl^(-)` ion size.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C
In CsCl, the coordination number is 8. Here `Cl^(-)` forms BCC packing with `Cs^(+)` occupying body centre voids or `Cs^(+)` forms SCC packing with `Cl^(-)` occupying body centred voids.
