    Sodium chloride, NaCI, usually crystallizes in a face-centered cubic lattice. How many ions are in contact with any single \[N{{a}^{+}}\] ion?

    A)  4      

    B)  6     

    C)  8     

    D)  1

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In NaCI crystal, \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ions form the fee lattice and \[N{{a}^{+}}\] ions are present in the octahedral voids. Thus, each \[N{{a}^{+}}\] ion is surrounded by six \[C{{l}^{-}}\]ions at the corners of a regular octahedron.
