    What is the co-ordination number of CF in \[NaCl\]crystal?

    A)  8                            

    B)  6

    C)   4                                           

    D)  3

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[NaCl\]has octahedral crystal system, therefore co-ordination number of each\[N{{a}^{+}}\]and\[C{{l}^{-}}\]ion is 6. Co-ordination number of atom is determined that the given atom surrounded by how many numbers of atom. In\[NaCl\],each\[N{{a}^{+}}\]ion is surrounded by 6\[C{{l}^{-}}\]ions and each \[C{{l}^{-}}\]ions is surrounded by six\[N{{a}^{+}}\]ions. So they both show co-ordination number 6.
