Question 6

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements correctly describes the CsCl structure type?


A) CsCl structure is composed of primitive cubic lattice of Cl- anions with Cs+ cations occupying every cubic hole resulting in 8:8 cation : anion coordination.
B) CsCl structure is essentially body-centred cubic lattice with alternating Cl- and Cs+ ions resulting in 8:8 coordination.
C) CsCl structure is composed of hexagonal close-packing of Cl- anions with Cs+ cations occupying every octahedral hole, this arrangement of cations and anions results in a 6:6 cation : anion coordination.
