In crystals of the salt cesium chloride, cesium ions Cst form the eight corners of a cube and a chlorine ion ci is at the cube's center (see the figure). The edge length of the cube is L = 0.39 nm. The Cst ions are each deficient by one electron (and thus each has a charge of +e), and the Cl ion has one excess electron (and thus has a charge of - e).
