Chapter 12, Problem 49GQ
Spinels are solids with the general formula AB2O4 (where A2+ and B3+ are metal cations of the same or different metals). The best-known example is common magnetite, Fe3O4 [which you can formulate as (Fe2+)(Fe3+)2O4]. Another example is the mineral often referred to as spinel, MgAl2O4.
A crystal of the spinel MgAl2O4
The oxide ions of spinels form a face-centered cubic lattice. In a normal spinel, cations occupy ⅛ of the tetrahedral sites and ½ of the octahedral sites.
- (a) In MgAl2O4, in what types of holes are the magnesium and aluminum ions found?
- (b) The mineral chromite has the formula FeCr2O4. What ions are involved, and in what types of holes are they found?

(b) What arethe coordination numbers of the cations and anions in eachof these structures?
The density of turquoise, CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8(H2O)4, is 2.927 g cm-3 . This gemstone crystallizes in the triclinic system with cell constants a =7.424 Å, b= 7.629 Å, c= 9.910 Å, a = 68.61°, b = 69.71°, and g = 65.08°. Calculate the volume of the unit cell, and determine how many copper atoms are present in each unit cell of turquoise.
Use the Born-Mayer equation to estimate the lattice enthalpy of calcium sulfide, CaS. The crystal adopts a rocksalt structure with the distance between the centres of nearest neighbours being 284 pm.

Generally, in order to have a larger band gap, the dopant should be smaller than the main material.

Use this to calculate the atomic packing fraction of a 20.-nm silver particle. In other words, calculate the ratio of the volume taken up by Ag atoms to the volume of the entire nanoparticle. c Based on the result of part (b), silver conforms to which type of cubic crystal lattice? A simple cubic B body-centered cubic C face-centered cubic d A cubic Ag ingot having a mass of 5.0-g is processed to form a batch of 20.-nm Ag nanoparticles.
