As we have learnt,

 

CsCl
  • Here Clions are at the comers of a cube and Cs+ ions are in the cubic void (centred position) i.e. BCC like structure.
  • Here co-ordination number of both Csand Cl- is 8 and here the number of formula units per unit cell is 1. re + r= √3a/2.
  • Here rCs+/rCl+ should be 0.732 but it is 0.93, e.g. CsX, TiBr, NH4Cl, NH4Br

-

Edge length in CaCl structure =\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}(r_{Cs^+}+r_{Cl^-})

                                                =\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\times 200

                                                =231pm
