Co-ordination no. of Cs+ and Cl- are 8, 8 in CsCl crystal

If radius ratio rc/ra<0.225then shape of compound must be linear

If radius ratio rc/ralies between 0.414 to 0.732 then shape of ionic compound may square planar Ex.PtCl42−

If radius ratio is less than 0.155 then shape of compound is linear

answer is 1,3,4.
