- What is the coordination number of Cs in CsCl? of Na in NaCl? of Zn2 in ZnS?arrow_forward3 Rubidium (Rb) adopts a body-centred cubic, BCC, structure at a pressure of 1 atm. Upon application of high pressure (of the order of 30,000 atm), Rb undergoes a structural phase transition to a face-centred-cubic, FCC, structure.

- a) It is considered that a solid substance has an orthorhombic structure. Since the edges of the unit cell are a = 3.50Å, b = 4.0 Å, c = 5.5 Å, calculate the d and 2θ positions for the 111 plane expected in the diffraction pattern as a result of CuKα radiation (λ = 1.54 Å). b) What is the Miller index of the plane intersecting the crystal axes (2a, 1b, -3c)?arrow_forwardIn the early days of X-ray crystallography there was an urgent need to know the wavelengths of X-rays.
