CsCl (Cesium Chloride) structure
<-Start by clicking here
Showing chloride anions only, at approximate ionic radii, showing the simple cubic packing of the anions
Adding in the cesium cations at approximate ionic radii (Cs 8 coord 1.88A; Cl 8 coord approx 1.69A; cation/anion=1.11)
Hypothetical alternate radii ratios 1.00 0.732 0.500
Shrinking the ions to 1/3 their ionic radii to help see them better
Toggle on/off unit cell. The unit cell is cubic
