Q. If the positions of $ N{{a}^{+}} $ and $ C{{l}^{-}} $ are interchanged in $ NaCl, $ , the crystal lattice with respect to $ N{{a}^{+}} $ and $ C{{l}^{-}} $ is

Solution:

Each $ N{{a}^{+}} $ in $ NaCl $ is surrounded by six $ C{{l}^{-}} $ and each $ C{{l}^{-}} $ in $ NaCl $ is surrounded by six $ N{{a}^{+}} $ and, thus on interchanging $ C{{l}^{-}} $ the fee structure of $ NaCl $ will not change.
