The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect statement regarding coordination numbers and structural changes in solids, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Coordination Number**: - The coordination number of a crystal structure refers to the number of nearest neighbor atoms or ions surrounding a central atom or ion. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - **Statement**: "At high pressure, the coordination number increases from 6:6 to 8:8." - **Explanation**: When pressure is applied to a solid, the particles are forced closer together, leading to an increase in coordination number. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - **Statement**: "At high pressure, the coordination number decreases from 8:8 to 6:6." - **Explanation**: This statement contradicts the principle that increasing pressure causes particles to come closer, which typically increases the coordination number. Hence, this statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - **Statement**: "At high temperature, the coordination number decreases." - **Explanation**: At high temperatures, the thermal energy causes particles to vibrate more and can lead to an increase in distance between them, resulting in a decrease in coordination number. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - **Statement**: "At 760 Kelvin temperature, CsCl structure changes into NaCl." - **Explanation**: Cesium chloride (CsCl) can undergo a structural change to a sodium chloride (NaCl) type structure at elevated temperatures. This statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: - After analyzing all options, we conclude that **Option B** is the incorrect statement. ### Final Answer: **The incorrect statement is Option B: "At high pressure, the coordination number decreases from 8:8 to 6:6."** ---
