topic3π ±οΈ Flashcards
ionic solid brief
cations and anions held together with strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
high melting and boiling point
hard, brittle
conductive when molten or dissolved in aqueous solution
NaCl eg
what is a binary solid
a solid comprised of 2 different elements
some binary solids can be what
some binary solids can be molecular or covalent network solids
(SiO2)
although some bindery solids can be molecular or covalent network solids,, many binary solids are
IONIC COMPOUNDS
binary ionic solids can be described using what
explained as being based on close packed structure types.
describe binary ionic solids
close packed array of ions of one element
with ions of the other element located in a proportion of the interstitial sites
number of octahedral interstitial sites in CCP // FCC
N
number of atoms in unit cell (based on its contribution)
1/8 x 8 = 1
1/2 x 6 = 3
1 + 3 = 4
SO 4 OCTAHEDRAL INTERSTITIAL
number of tetrahedral interstitial sites in a ccp // fcc
8!!!
2N
based on an atoms contribution
octahedral interstitial sites in a ccp//fcc
between every atom basically!!
a gap that is bonded to 6 diff atoms (when u expand the unit cell)
one in the centre aswell.
squish the unit cell down and imagine where the gaps are π
tetrahedral interstitial sites in a ccp // fcc
in each βοΈ face when u look down.
at 1/4 and 3/4 along the z axis
NaCl ,, salt,, sodium chloride brief
ccp structure
all octahedral interstitial sites filled
NaCl in depth
ccp array of Cl- anions ,, with Na+ cations in ALL octahedral holes
CN of both = 6,, octahedral coordination (the number of the OTHER ion in the structure itβs immediately next to)
general rule with size
anions are the larger ones
other materials with NaCl structure
group 1 and halides
NaX
LiX
AgCl
Fluorite,, CaF2 structure type
ccp structure
all tetrahedral sites filled
no octahedral sites filled
