Coordination number of Na+ in NaCl crystal is
- 1
- 6
- 2
- 8
The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
In a NaCl crystal lattice, each Na+ ion is surrounded by six Cl- ions, and each Cl- ion is surrounded by six Na+ ions. The arrangement forms a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure.
This configuration ensures maximum stability through electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions, with each ion having a coordination number of 6. Therefore, the coordination number of Na+ in a NaCl crystal is 6.
Approach Solution -2
Explanation:
- In a NaCl (sodium chloride) crystal, the structure is a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice.
- Each Na+ ion is surrounded by 6 Cl– ions, and vice versa.
- This arrangement gives both ions a coordination number of 6.
Correct Answer: 6

Electricity is passed through an acidic solution of Cu$^{2+}$ till all the Cu$^{2+}$ was exhausted, leading to the deposition of 300 mg of Cu metal. However, a current of 600 mA was continued to pass through the same solution for another 28 minutes by keeping the total volume of the solution fixed at 200 mL. The total volume of oxygen evolved at STP during the entire process is ___ mL. (Nearest integer)
Given:
$\mathrm{Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu(s)}$
$\mathrm{O_2 + 4H^+ + 4e^- \rightarrow 2H_2O}$
Faraday constant = 96500 C mol$^{-1}$
Molar volume at STP = 22.4 L
