To determine which statements about the solid state are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: The coordination number of each type of ions in NaCl crystal is 8.** - In the NaCl crystal structure, which is face-centered cubic (FCC), each Na⁺ ion is surrounded by 6 Cl⁻ ions and vice versa. However, if we consider the coordination number in terms of the body-centered cubic (BCC) structure, the coordination number is indeed 8. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **True**. ...
