An ionic compound crystallizes in a body-center cubic structure. It has a metal (M) cation at the center lattice point and nonmetal (Y) anions at each corner lattice point. This information indicates that the formula of the compound is MY6 O formula of the compound is M6Y cation and the anion have the same charge. ionic compound has a relatively low melting point.

The CsCl structure is a simple cubic array of chloride ions with a cesium ion at the center of each cubic array (see Exercise 69). Given that the density of cesium chloride is 3.97 g/cm3, and assuming that the chloride and cesium ions touch along the body diagonal of the cubic unit cell, calculate the distance between the centers of adjacent Cs+ and Cl ions in the solid. Compare this value with the expected distance based on the sizes of the ions. The ionic radius of Cs+ is 169 pm, and the ionic radius of Cl is 181 pm.
