In the crystalline solids the smallest repeating part in the lattice is known as unit cell. The unit cells are described as simple (points at all corners), body centred (points at all the corners and it the centre), face centred (points at all the corners and centre of all faces), and end centred (points at all hte corners and centres of two opposite and faces) unit cells. In two common tyupes of packing ccp and hcp, 26% of space is left unoccupied in the form of interstitial sites. For the stable ionic crystalline structures, there is difinite radius ratio limit for a cation to fit perfectly in the lattice of anions, called radius ratio rule. This also defines the coordination number of an ion, which is the number of nearest neighbours of opposite charges. This depeds upon the ratio of radii of two types of ions, r_(+)//r_(-). This ratio for coordination numbers 3,4,6,and 8 is respectively 0.155 - 0.225, 0.225 - 0.414, 0.414 - 0.732 and 0.732 - 1 respectively.
The ionic radii of `K^+` ,`Rb^+` and `Br^-` are 137, 148 and 195 pm. The coordination number of cation in RbBr and KBr structures and respectively
