a) Triclinic
b) Orthorhombic
c) Octahedral
d) Tetragonal​

Answer 1

Explanation:

please follow me

Here's the answer dear

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. Each ion is 6-coordinate and has a local octahedral geometry.
