A `NaCl` crystal is found to have `CsCl` structure. How it happened?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand how a NaCl crystal can exhibit a CsCl structure, we need to analyze the structural differences and the effects of external conditions such as pressure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding NaCl Structure**: - In a NaCl crystal, sodium ions (Na⁺) are surrounded by six chloride ions (Cl⁻) in an octahedral arrangement. This means that each Na⁺ ion has a coordination number of 6, and each Cl⁻ ion also has a coordination number of 6. 2. **Understanding CsCl Structure**: ...
