Question

draw the atomic structure of NaCl (sodium chloride)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Sodium Chloride Structure

NaCl has a cubic unit cell. It is best thought of as a face-centered cubic array of anions with an interpenetrating fcc cation lattice (or vice-versa). The cell looks the same whether you start with anions or cations on the corners.

Lattice Type: Face-Centered

Alternate Names: Halite, rock salt, sea salt, table salt, salt

Formula: NaCl

Atomic Positions: Cl: 0, 0, 0 Na: 0.5, 0.5, 0.5;
