Consider an ionic solid MX , with NaCl structure. Construct a new structure Z , whose unit cell is constructed from the unit cell of MX , following the sequential instructions given below. Neglect the charge balance. ( i ) Remove all the anions X , except the central one. ( ii ) Replace all the face centered cations M , by anions X . ( iii ) Remove all the corner cations M . ( iv ) Replace the central anion X , with
