Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The distance between the centers of adjacent ${\text{Cs}}^{\text{+}}$ and ${\text{Cl}}^{\text{-}}$ ions in the solid needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Solids are composed of certain repeating basic units which are called as unit cells. These units represents the arrangement of atoms in a certain manner that repeats itself throughout the solid and make the crystal lattice.

Each solid has a different type of unit cell and crystal lattice that makes it unique from other solids. The atoms are arranged in unit cells.
