Solution

The correct option is D

8,8


Explanation:

  • The coordination number is defined as the number of the neighboring particles in a crystal.
  • In Caesium chloride CsCl, the cesium ions form the simple cubic arrangement and the chloride ions occupy the interstitial sites
  • In CsCl, each Cesium ion Cs+ is surrounded by 8 chloride ions and each Chloride ion Cl- would be surrounded by 8 Cesium ions.
  • Hence, the coordination for the CsCl type of structure is 8:8.

Therefore, option (D) is the correct answer. In CsCl type structure, the coordination number of Cs+ and Cl- respectively are 8,8.
