Structure of Sodium Chloride (NaCl)

Sodium chloride crystal is made up of sodium and chloride ions. Sodium chloride crystal has a  face-centered cubic close packed structure.The chloride ions occupy the corner and face centered positions,  the sodium ions occupy the octahedral voids in cubic close structure.The unit cell of NaCl contains 4 chloride ions and 4 sodium ions. The coordination number of sodium chloride is 6.
