Which of the following statements correctly describes the CsCl structure type? A) CsCl structure is composed of primitive cubic lattice of Cl^- anions with Cs⁺ cations occupying every cubic hole resulting in 8:8 cation : anion coordination. B) CsCl structure is essentially body-centred cubic lattice with alternating Cl^- and Cs⁺ ions resulting in 8:8 coordination. C) CsCl structure is composed of hexagonal close-packing of Cl^- anions with Cs⁺ cations occupying every octahedral hole, this arrangement of cations and anions results in a 6:6 cation : anion coordination.
