Question: Cesium Chloride ( CsCl ) has a crystal structure that contains C s + ions in the corner of the cube and a C l

Cesium Chloride (CsCl) has a crystal structure that contains Cs+ions in the corner of the cube and a Cl ion at the cube's centre (see Figure). The Cs+ions are each deficient by one electron, therefore they have a +e charge, while Cl ion has one excess electron, and thus they have -e charge. If one of the Cs+ions was missing, the crystal is said to have a defect.
What is the magnitude of the net force exerted on the Cl ic the case of a CsCl crystal with a defect (that is, one Cs+ion is missing)?
Useful constants:
k=8.988109Nm2C-2
G=6.67410-11m3kg-1s-2
e=1.60210-19C
mC=5.8910-23g
mCS=2.2110-22g
In the following questions please show all work and circle your final answer. The first several parts of the question will walk you through a series of steps to reach the final answer.
Find the distance between the Cl ion and any of the Cs+ions assuming that L=0.40nm.
