Cesium chlorine structure

Fig. 5-7.—The structure of the tetragonal crystals CstAgAuCle and Cs2AuAuCU. Large full circles represent cesium atoms, large open circles chlorine atoms, and small circles gold or silver atoms.

To sec how this occurs, let us consider the simplest interesting case, that of cesium chloride. The structure of CsCl is shown in Fig. 2-1,a. The chlorine atoms, represented by open circles, appear on the corners of a cube, and this cubic array is repeated throughout the entire crystal. At the center of each cube is a cesium atom (at the body-center position in the cube). Cesium chloride is very polar, so the occupied orbitals lie almost entirely upon the chlorine atoms. As a first approximation we can say that the cesium atom has given up a valence electron to...
