The coordination number is simply the number of nearest neighbours of an atom/ion. Look at or draw a cube, you will see it has 6 faces or sides. If the neighbours are arranged like a cube around the central atom/ion, there are 6 nearest neighbours just as there are 6 faces: 4 around the body of the cube, 1 above and 1 below.

What is the coordination number of each type of ions in a rock salt type crystal structure?
Six. Explanation: Rock salt (NaCl) is ionic crystalline compound having Na+ and Cl- ions. Each Na+ is surrounded by 6 Cl- ions and vice versa. Coordination number for an ion is the number of oppositely charged ions around it. So it is 6.
What is Cubic feet of 6 yards?
The question can not be answered. You would have to specify 6 cubic yards. How many cubic feet are in a cubic yard? Multiply that by the number of cubic yards. You must know how many cubic feet are in a cubic yard, right?
What is the coordination number of an aluminum atom?
The coordination number of an aluminum atom is typically 4. This means that aluminum atoms in compounds tend to be surrounded by 4 other atoms or ions. However, aluminum can also exhibit coordination numbers of 6 in certain compounds.
What are the usual coordination numbers for Be2 and Mg2?
The usual coordination number for beryllium (Be²⁺) is typically 4, as it often forms tetrahedral complexes due to its small size and high charge-to-radius ratio. In contrast, magnesium (Mg²⁺) generally has a coordination number of 6, commonly forming octahedral complexes. These coordination preferences are influenced by the ions' sizes and the nature of their ligands.

What is the lowest and highest number of shared and unshared atoms in a unit cell of a FCC structure and a simple cubic structure?
Your question, if I understand it correctly, asks to explain the reasoning behind the coordination number, or number of adjacent atoms, of an atom in a simple cubic structure versus an atom in a face centered cubic structure (FCC).Before we proceed, I would like to clarify one thing:A unit cell of a simple cubic crystal has 1 atom, while a unit cell of FCC crystal has 4 atoms. This may be a little counterintuitive at first, but consider how the atoms are shared. For the simple cubic structure, there are eight individual atoms - one at each corner of the cube. The unit cell, however, has to share each atom with the 8 other adjacent cells. Thus a unit cell gets 8 atoms only 1/8 of the time, hence 8*(1/8) = 1 atom per simple cubic unit cell. Similarly, FCC has the 1 atom from simple cubic, plus half of the 6 atoms on each of it's faces. Thus, FCC has 4 atoms per unit cell.On to the main question. In short, given a homogeneous, perfect crystal the coordination numbers of all the atoms are the same. All atoms are shared equal with their neighbors.For the simple cubic case this is easy to see. Like the simple gumdrop creations of second graders, you can start at any gumdrop to make the creation. Any corner is the same relative to its neighbors as any other corner. For FCC the same is true.
What is the coordination number of copper?
The coordination number of copper typically ranges from 2 to 6 in its common compounds. In most cases, copper exhibits a coordination number of 4 due to its d10 electron configuration.
What is the coordination number of an cation in NaCl structure?
The coordination number is six for Na in NaCl.

It is: 6*6*6 = 216
How many cubic centimeters are in 6 cubic meters?
Knowing that there are 1,000,000 cubic centimeters in 1 cubic meter, then multiply that by the number of cubic meters (6), you end up with 6,000,000 cubic centimeters.
What is the oxidation number and coordination number of rhodium in the coordination compound?
The oxidation number of rhodium in a coordination compound can vary, but it is commonly found in the +2 or +3 oxidation state. The coordination number of rhodium in a coordination compound is typically 6, as it can coordinate with up to six ligands.

384 cubic feet. Its simple math.
Why is the coordination number of be 4 and that of mg 6?
Be is smaller than Mg. The "coordination number" depends on the relative sizes of the central atom and the ones that are linked (chemists call them ligands) as to how many you can get. For the a give ligand the bigger the Central atom or ion the greater the number you can get round it.
What is the coordination number of each type of ions in a rock salt type crystal structure?
Six. Explanation: Rock salt (NaCl) is ionic crystalline compound having Na+ and Cl- ions. Each Na+ is surrounded by 6 Cl- ions and vice versa. Coordination number for an ion is the number of oppositely charged ions around it. So it is 6.
