The inter-metallic compound LiAg crystallizes in cubic lattice in which both Li and Ag have co-ordin — Solid State Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Since both Li and Ag have a coordination number of 8, the structure is of CsCl type (body-centered-like arrangement). However, because the lattice points at the corners and the body center are occupied by different types of atoms (Li and Ag), the Bravais lattice is Simple Cubic.
