CHEM 1000 Lecture Notes - Ion, Coordination Number, Stoichiometry

Depending on temperature, RbCl can exist in either the rock-salt or cesium-chloride structure. What is the coordination number of the anion and cation in each of these structures? and in which of these structures will Rb have the largest apparent radius?
