If the positions of ` Na^(+) and Cl^(-)` are interchanged in NaCl, having fcc arrangement of ` Cl^(-)` ions then in the unit cell of NaCl

A

`Na^(+)` ions will decrease by 1 while ` Cl^(-)` ions will increase by 1.

B

`Na^(+)` ions will increase by 1 while `Cl^(-)` ions will decrease by 1

C

Number of ` Na^(+) and Cl^(-)` ions will remain the same

D

The crystal structure of NaCl will change.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In NaCl with fcc arrangement of `Cl^(-)` ions arrangemetn of ` Cl^(-)` ion = 14, ` Na^(+)` ions = 13. On interchanging their positions, ` Cl^(-)` ions will be 13 and ` Na^(+)` ions will be 14.
