If the positions of

\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{a}^ + }

and

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{l}^ - }

are interchanges in NaCl, the crystal lattice with respect to

\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{a}^ + }

and

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{l}^ - }

is :

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Fcc and bcc

Option C (Fcc and bcc) is correct because in NaCl, Na+ ions occupy octahedral voids in the fcc lattice of Cl- ions. Interchanging their positions results in Cl- ions occupying octahedral voids in the fcc lattice of Na+ ions, effectively creating a bcc arrangement for Cl- with respect to Na+.
