Determination of crystal structure of nacl kcl and cscl
Answers
CsCl has a basic cubic structure that consists of an infinite chain of ions. The Cs (or Cl) ions sit at the eight corners of the cube. And the Cl (orCs) sit at the center of the cube (thus it is not a body centered lattice that requires the same ion to occupy the edges and center ).
This is some basic structure is found in many other compounds and commonly known as the halite or rock salt crystal structure
Nacl - NaCl has a cubic unit cell. It is the best thought of as a face centered cubic array of anions with an interpenetrating FCC cation lattice .
The cell looks the same whether you starts with anions or cations on the corners . Each ions has a 6 coordinate and has a local octane hedral geometry.
kcl - the crystal structure kcl is like that of nacl . It's adopt a face centered cubic structure. It's lattice constant is rougly 6.3 angstrom.
- NaCl Crystal Structure:
it is a cubic cell. it is face centered cubic array of anions
- KCl Crystal Structure:
KCl crystal structure is similar to the crystal structure of NaCl. it is a face centered cubic structure.
- CSCl Crystal Structure:
it is cubic structure that have many ions chains.
