A sodium chloride crystal can be described as a face- centred cubic chlorine crystal with the sodium ions occupying the interstitial positions. What would be the maximum radius, r, of the sodium ions such that chlorine ions of radius, a, achieved the maximum face-centred cubic packing efficiency for the chlorine ions? The radius, a, of a chlorine ion is a=1.0843nm.
