Dear Student
 
 
In general,
high pressure favours greater co-ordination no and when you increase
temperature it lowers co-ordination number. So, NaCl gets transformed to BCC
when it is subjected to high pressure. The original co-ordination number is 6:6
and gets changed to 8:8 (refer attached fig)
