Q. In the following $NaCl$ type structure:
Salt Anion-anion distance Cation-anion distance
MT $2.40\mathring{A}$ $1.70\mathring{A}$
MQ $1.63\mathring{A}$ $1.15\mathring{A}$
RT $2.66\mathring{A}$ $1.88\mathring{A}$
RQ $2.09\mathring{A}$ $1.48\mathring{A}$

$MT$ is represented as:

The Solid State

Solution:

The difference in internuclear distance between $MT$ and $RT$ indicates that the cations must not be touching all the anions in $MT$. Thus the structure of $MT$ is
