Question

coordination number of caesium in caesium chloride is
a)8
b)6
c)4
d)12​

Answer 1

Answer:

probably it may be 6.

Bcoz the formula unit cesium chloride is CsCl also a 1:1 ratio.

The coordinate numbers are not 6 as in NaCl. The center in is the Cs± ion and it's surrounded by the 8 Cl– ions at the corners of the cube.
