NaCl type crystal (With coordination no. 6:6) can be converted into CsCl type crystal (With coordinations no 8:8) by applying
A
High temperature
B
High pressure
C
High temperature and high pressure
D
Low temperature and low pressure
Answer
High pressure
Explanation
Solution
Increase of pressure increases coordination number. Hence, by applying high pressure, NaCl types crystal can be changed into CsCl type crystal.
