Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Given silicon crystal has to be described for PC, BCC or FCC.

Concept introduction:

  • An ionic radii are the radius of an atom's ion in ionic crystals structure.
  • An ionic solid is made up cations and anions held together by electrostatic forces in a rigid array or lattice.
  • Positive charge ions are cations and negative charge ions are anions.
  • Lattice Energy is mainly depends on the charge on the ion and radius or size of the ion.
  • Ionic radius increases from top to bottom on the periodic table.

  Ionic radius decreases from left to right the periodic table.

  • The density of the unit cell:

  Massvolume = density

  • The face-centered cubic system:

  It has lattice points on the faces of the cube, that each gives exactly one half contributions, in addition to the corner lattice points, giving a total of 4 lattice points per unit cell
