KS8064 Sodium Chloride Crystal Model
Overview
Considered independently of one another, the sodium atoms (grey) form a cubic face-centered lattice as do the chlorine atoms (green). They are displaced from one another by � the diagonal of the cube. A unit cell of sodium chloride thus has sodium atoms in the corners and face-centered and chlorine atoms in the body-centers and on the centers of the edges.
