- A portion of the crystalline lattice for potassium is illustrated below. (a) In what type of unit cell are the K atoms arranged? A portion of the solid-state structure of potassium. (b) If one edge of the potassium unit cell is 533 pm, what is the density of potassium?arrow_forwardSilicon carbide, SiC, is a very hard, high-melting solid. What kind of crystal forces account for these properties?arrow_forwardCalculate the percent of volume that is actually occupied by spheres in a body-centered cubic lattice of identical spheres You can do this by first relating the radius of a sphere, r, to the length of an edge of a unit cell, l. (Note that the spheres do not touch along an edge but do touch along a diagonal passing through the body-centered sphere.) Then calculate the volume of a unit cell in terms of r. The volume occupied by spheres equals the number of spheres per unit cell times the volume of a sphere (4r3/3).arrow_forward
- What is a lattice? What is a unit cell? Describe a simple cubic unit cell. How many net atoms are contained in a simple cubic unit cell? How is the radius of the atom related to the cube edge length for a simple cubic unit cell? Answer the same questions for the body-centered cubic unit cell and for the face-centered unit cell.arrow_forwardOutline a two-dimensional unit cell for the pattern shown here. If the black squares are labeled A and the white squares are B, what is the simplest formula for a compound based on this pattern?arrow_forwardThe CsCl structure is a simple cubic array of chloride ions with a cesium ion at the center of each cubic array (see Exercise 69). Given that the density of cesium chloride is 3.97 g/cm3, and assuming that the chloride and cesium ions touch along the body diagonal of the cubic unit cell, calculate the distance between the centers of adjacent Cs+ and Cl ions in the solid. Compare this value with the expected distance based on the sizes of the ions. The ionic radius of Cs+ is 169 pm, and the ionic radius of Cl is 181 pm.arrow_forward

Answer the questions by referring to this structure. Be careful to note that some atoms are hidden by those in front. a One of the spheres (red or green) represents a monatomic, metallic ion. The other color sphere represents a monatomic, nonmetal ion. Which spheres probably represent the metal ion? Explain. b How many red spheres are there in the unit cell? How many green ones? c From the information you have, deduce the general formula of the compound, using M for the metallic element and X for the nonmetallic element. What are the formulas of the ions? d Give an example of a compound that might have this structure. Explain why you think this compound might have this structure. Which ion of this compound would be represented by the red spheres?arrow_forwardThe unit cell of silicon carbide, SiC, is illustrated below. (a) In what type of unit cell are the (dark gray) C atoms arranged? (b) If one edge of the silicon carbide unit cell is 436.0 pm, what is the calculated density of this compound? A portion of the solid-state structure of silicon carbide.arrow_forward

(The oxide ions marked by an x are wholly within the cell; the others are in the cell faces.)

You can do this by first relating the radius of a sphere, r, to the length of an edge of a unit cell, l. (Note that the spheres do not touch along an edge but do touch along the diagonal of a face.) Then calculate the volume of a unit cell in terms of r. The volume occupied by spheres equals the number of spheres per unit cell times the volume of a sphere (4r3/3).arrow_forwardIn the LiCl structure shown in Figure 9.21, the chloride ions form a face-centered cubic unit cell 0.513 nm on an edge. The ionic radius of Cl- is 0.181 nm. (a) Along a cell edge, how much space is between the Cl- ions? (b) Would an Na+ ion (r=0.095nm) fit into this space? a K+ ion (r=0.133nm)?arrow_forward
