    In the basic CsCl crystal structure, \[C{{s}^{+}}\] and \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ions are arranged in a bcc configuration as shown in the figure. The net electrostatic force exerted by the eight \[C{{s}^{+}}\] ions on the \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ion is

    A) \[\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\,\,\frac{4{{e}^{2}}}{3{{a}^{2}}}\]                     

    B) \[\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\,\,\frac{16{{e}^{2}}}{3{{a}^{2}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\,\,\frac{32{{e}^{2}}}{3{{a}^{2}}}\]                   

    D) zero

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The given crystal structure is a body centered cubic structure. The electrostatic force, \[F=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\,\,\frac{{{q}_{1}}{{q}_{2}}}{{{r}^{2}}}\] Since one \[{{\operatorname{Cs}}^{+}}\] ion is balanced by diagonally opposite \[{{\operatorname{Cs}}^{+}}\] ion, net electrostatic force on \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ion due to eight \[{{\operatorname{Cs}}^{+}}\] ions is zero.
