CsCl crystal structure

[@harshitagoyal7134]

Wow! You make it seem so simple!! I really understand it so well now :')

[@nekosamatan4612]

Thank you so much, sir. I finally understand how the chloride's coordination number is counted :))

[@TaylorSparks]

so glad it could help!

[@joshescobar3065]

Well done sir! I am applying this to the austenite regime of Nitinol for my semester paper on shape memory alloys. I'll be sure to feature you in my works cited! Greetings from the McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering at UT Austin by the way!

[@TaylorSparks]

Awesome! So glad it's helpful.

How do we calculate the Madelung constant for CsCl??

[@ChemistryStudent-k8h]

I don't understand how CsCl has the structure "simple cubic", when the CN(Cs) = 8 and CN(Cl) = 8, normally CN for "simple cubic" structures gives a CN = 6. Or am I wrong?

[@TaylorSparks]

No, the structure is not simple cubic. It is the CsCl structure. However each atom type of it were alone would be in simple cubic arrangement. They are not alone, but it's helpful to consider their arrangement

[@ChemistryStudent-k8h]

@@TaylorSparks Oh I didn't knew that "CsCl" actually was a structure type like SC and BCC, I think I get it now. Thanks for clarifying things.

[@TaylorSparks]

@@ChemistryStudent-k8h yeah, simple cubic, BCC and FCC are the ones that exist for a single atom but as soon as you start adding additional atoms you get a whole variety of new structure types. There are tens of thousands actually. CsCl is one of the common ones though
