In case of sodium chloride crystal we have sodium positive ions and chloride negative ions have been arranged in a perfect order. As we break the crystal then it gets broken only at some definite planes containing these ions. Hence these planes have been named as cleavage planes. The other name for these planes is lattice planes.
