Hello student
hope you are doing well and safe. With reference to your query, I would glad inform you that in nacl,sodium ions are present at body centre and edges centre of the unit cell and chloride ions are present at the edges and face centres of the unit cell .Therefore,the effective number of chloride ions are 1/2*6=3 sodium ions .
Hope you found this answer informative. Best wishes for your future
