Answer the following question given this paragraph: Common Structures of Binary Compounds As shown in part (a) in Figure 12.8 "Holes in Cubic Lattices", a simple cubic lattice of anions contains only one kind of hole, located in the center of the unit cell. Because this hole is equidistant from all eight atoms at the corners of the unit cell, it is called acubic hole. An atom or ion in a cubic hole therefore has a coordination number of 8. Many ionic compounds with relatively large cations and a 1:1 cation:anion ratio have this structure, which is called the cesium chloride structure (Figure 12.9 "The Cesium Chloride Structure") because CsCl is a common example. Q: Many ionic compounds with relatively large cations and a 1:1 cation:anion ratio have this structure, which is called the what? Choices: - boron chloride structure - hydrocarbon structure - analogous structure - cesium chloride structure A:
Answer:
cesium chloride structure
