Different chemical salts have a different shaped crystal structure.

However, for Sodium Chloride (NaCl) , which is domestic/cooking salt, it has a simple cubic structure.

Of the eight nodes(corners) in a simple cube, The sodium cation(Na^+) and the chloride anion(Cl^-) occupy alternative corners. So moving round the top of the cube, it is Na^+ , Cl^- ,Na^+ , Cl^-, but then on the bottom of the cube it is Cl^-, Na^+, Cl^-, Na^+ . This is so the ion immediately below a cation is and anion. and vice versa.
