Question
In the basic CsCl crystal structure, Cs+ and Cl+ ions are arranged in a bcc configuration as shown in the figure. The net electrostatic force exerted by the eight Cs+ ions on the ion is :


Options
A.

B.

C.

D.zero
Solution
All Cs ions are symmetrically distributed around Cl- so, resultant of all the fores acting on Cl- will be zero
