Question:

A crystalline solid contains three types of ions, Na+, O2-, and Cl-. The solid is made up of cubic unit cells that have O2- ions at each corner, Na+ ions at the center of each face, and Cl- ions at the center of the cells. What is the chemical formula of the compound? What are the coordination numbers for the O2- and Cl- ions? If the length of one edge of the unit cell is a, what is the shortest distance from the center of a Na+ ion to the center of an O2- ion? Similarly, what is the shortest distance from the center of a Cl- ion to the center of an O2- ion?
