Swara Dasgupta answered |
Diamond and Graphite, Two allotropes of carbon are covalent network solids which differ in the bonding geometry of the carbon atoms.
In diamond, the bonding occurs in the tetrahedral geometry, while in graphite the carbons bond with each other in the trigonal planar arrangement. This difference accounts for the drastically different appearance and properties of these two forms of carbon.
Diamond is also an allotrope of carbon. Diamond is the hardest material known, defining the upper end of the 1-10 scale known as Moh’s hardness scale. Diamond cannot be melted; above 1700 deg C it is converted to graphite, the more stable form of carbon. The diamond unit cell is face-centered cubic and contains eight carbon atoms.

Explanation:
- A simple cubic lattice is a type of crystal lattice where the lattice points form a cube and are located at the corners of the cube.
- The [201] plane is a crystallographic plane that passes through the lattice points at (2, 0, 1), (-2, 0, 1), (0, 2, 1) and (0, -2, 1).
- The xy plane is a plane that is parallel to the x and y axes of the lattice.
- The angle between the [201] plane and the xy plane can be determined by finding the dot product of the normal vectors to each plane and using the formula:
cosθ = (a . b) / (|a| |b|)
where a and b are the normal vectors to the two planes.
- The normal vector to the [201] plane can be found by taking the cross product of two vectors that lie in the plane, such as (2, 0, 1) and (0, 2, 1), which gives the vector (-2, -2, 4).
- The normal vector to the xy plane is simply the z-axis vector, (0, 0, 1).
- Taking the dot product of these two vectors gives:
(-2, -2, 4) . (0, 0, 1) = 4
- The magnitude of each vector is:
|(2, 0, 1) × (0, 2, 1)| = 4
|(0, 0, 1)| = 1
- Substituting these values into the formula gives:
cosθ = (4) / (4 * 1) = 1
- Therefore, the angle θ between the [201] plane and the xy plane is:
θ = cos-1(1) = 0
- Since the angle is zero, it means that the two planes are parallel to each other, and therefore never intersect. Therefore, the angle between the [201] plane and the xy plane is greater than 600 degrees.

Anagha Chauhan answered |
Molar volume =N4/3πr³ where N is Avogadro number ,
Now Molar volume of KCl is 37.46cm³ So N4/3πR³ = 37.46 cm³
On solving this gives R=2.458 x 10-8 cm
And for NaCl by using the same formula it gives R=2.22 x 10-8 cm
Now the ratio of edge length must be equal to ratio of radii as both belong to same crystal system so KCl/NaCl = 2.458/2.22 = 1.108

Crystal System Identification
Explanation:
The crystal system of a crystal can be identified by its lattice parameters and angles between them. The lattice parameters are the lengths of the edges of the unit cell and the angles between them are the angles formed by the edges.
Orthorhombic Crystal System:
In an orthorhombic crystal system, all three lattice parameters, a, b, and c, are different and the angles between them are all 90 degrees. This means that the crystal is not cubic or tetragonal since all edges are not the same length. Additionally, since all angles are right angles, it is not monoclinic or triclinic.
Therefore, the crystal in question has lattice parameters a, b, and c, and angles between them of 90 degrees, indicating that it is in the orthorhombic crystal system.

ABCABC arrangement is found in CCP.
In closed cubic packing, relation between edge length of unit cell, a, and radius of particle, r, is given as a=2√2r.
Surface area (S.A.) = 6a2
From the relationship,
a2 = 8r2
S.A. = 6a2 = 48r2
When r = 166 pm, S.A. = 48(166pm) = 1.32 x 106 pm2.

Crystals with 8:8 coordination:
- NH4Cl: Ammonium chloride contains NH4+ and Cl- ions. The NH4+ ion is tetrahedral in shape and is surrounded by four Cl- ions, while each Cl- ion is surrounded by four NH4+ ions. Therefore, NH4Cl has 8:8 coordination.
- AlFe: Aluminium fluoride has a crystal structure where each Al3+ ion is surrounded by six F- ions and each F- ion is surrounded by six Al3+ ions. Therefore, AlF3 has 6:6 coordination. Iron is not present in this crystal.
- MnO: Manganese oxide has a rock salt crystal structure where each Mn2+ ion is surrounded by six O2- ions and each O2- ion is surrounded by six Mn2+ ions. Therefore, MnO has 6:6 coordination.
- NH4Br: Ammonium bromide has a crystal structure similar to NH4Cl, where each NH4+ ion is surrounded by four Br- ions and each Br- ion is surrounded by four NH4+ ions. Therefore, NH4Br has 8:8 coordination.
Therefore, the crystals with 8:8 coordination are NH4Cl, AlF3, and NH4Br.

Given:
- Lithium forms a BCC lattice with an edge length of 350 pm.
- Experimental density of lithium is 0.53 g cm-3.
- Atomic mass of Lithium = 7 amu.
To Find:
- The percentage of missing lithium atoms.
Concepts Used:
- BCC lattice structure.
- Calculation of the number of atoms in a BCC unit cell.
- Calculation of the density of a substance.
- Calculation of the percentage of missing atoms.
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the number of atoms in a BCC unit cell:
- In a BCC lattice, there are 2 atoms per unit cell.
- Each corner atom is shared by 8 unit cells, and each unit cell contributes 1/8th of an atom.
- There is 1 atom at the center of the unit cell, which is not shared.
- Therefore, the total number of atoms in a BCC unit cell is (1/8) * 8 + 1 = 2.
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the unit cell:
- The edge length of the BCC unit cell is given as 350 pm.
- The volume of a cube is calculated by multiplying the edge length by itself three times.
- Therefore, the volume of the unit cell is (350 pm)^3.
Step 3: Calculate the mass of the unit cell:
- The density of lithium is given as 0.53 g cm-3.
- Density is defined as mass divided by volume.
- Therefore, the mass of the unit cell is the product of the density and the volume of the unit cell.
Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of the unit cell:
- The atomic mass of lithium is given as 7 amu.
- Molar mass is defined as the mass of one mole of a substance.
- Therefore, the molar mass of the unit cell is the product of the atomic mass of lithium and the number of atoms in the unit cell.
Step 5: Calculate the number of moles of lithium in the unit cell:
- The number of moles is calculated by dividing the mass of the unit cell by the molar mass of the unit cell.
Step 6: Calculate the number of missing lithium atoms:
- The number of missing lithium atoms is calculated by subtracting the number of moles of lithium in the unit cell from the number of atoms in the unit cell.
Step 7: Calculate the percentage of missing lithium atoms:
- The percentage of missing lithium atoms is calculated by dividing the number of missing lithium atoms by the total number of atoms in the unit cell and multiplying by 100.
Answer:
The percentage of missing lithium atoms is 2.3%.

Vivek Khatri answered |
Given,
Edge length (a) = 288 pm
Density (ρ) = 7.2 g cm-3
Atomic mass (M) = 51.8 g mol-1
Avogadro’s number (N0) = 6.02 x 1023
We know, (ρ) = (Z x M)/(a3 x N0)
Or Z =(ρ x a3 x N0)/M = (7.2 x (288 x 10-10) 3 x 6.02 x 1023)/51.8
Z = 2
Therefore, the element has Body-Centred Cubic (BCC) type of structure.

In ionic compounds as internuclear distance incrreases, melting point decreases so as we move down the group, melting point decreases. So, as rc+ra is greater for RbBr than for NaF so NaF have higher melting point.

First, we need to find the edge length (a) of the body centred cubic unit cell using the density and molecular weight of the element.
Density = mass/volume
Volume of unit cell = a^3
Mass of unit cell = molecular weight/Avogadro's number
Combining these equations:
density = (molecular weight/Avogadro's number) / a^3
a^3 = (molecular weight/Avogadro's number) / density
a^3 = (137.3 g/mol / 6.022 x 10^23 mol^-1) / 3.62 g cm^-3
a^3 = 6.036 x 10^-23 cm^3
a = (6.036 x 10^-23 cm^3)^(1/3)
a = 3.184 x 10^-8 cm
Now, we can find the radius (r) of the atom using the edge length (a) and the geometry of the body centred cubic unit cell.
r = a * sqrt(3) / 4
r = (3.184 x 10^-8 cm) * sqrt(3) / 4
r = 1.386 x 10^-8 cm
Therefore, the atomic radius of the element is approximately 1.386 x 10^-8 cm.
Density = mass/volume
Volume of unit cell = a^3
Mass of unit cell = molecular weight/Avogadro's number
Combining these equations:
density = (molecular weight/Avogadro's number) / a^3

a^3 = (137.3 g/mol / 6.022 x 10^23 mol^-1) / 3.62 g cm^-3
a^3 = 6.036 x 10^-23 cm^3
a = (6.036 x 10^-23 cm^3)^(1/3)
a = 3.184 x 10^-8 cm

r = a * sqrt(3) / 4
r = (3.184 x 10^-8 cm) * sqrt(3) / 4
r = 1.386 x 10^-8 cm
Therefore, the atomic radius of the element is approximately 1.386 x 10^-8 cm.

Radius of cation = 110 pm
To find: Radius of anion
Formula used:
In a face-centred cubic cell, the cation is present at the corners of the cube and the face-centred positions, while the anion is present at the centre of each face of the cube.

Triclinic Crystal System and Rotational Symmetry Axes
The triclinic crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems in which crystalline materials can be classified. It is the least symmetrical crystal system and has the lowest symmetry among all crystal systems. In the triclinic system, the crystal lattice is characterized by three unequal axes (a, b, and c) that intersect at oblique angles.
Rotational Symmetry Axes
Rotational symmetry is a property of a crystal that describes how the crystal appears the same when rotated about an axis by a certain angle. The rotational symmetry axes are imaginary lines or directions along which a crystal can be rotated to match its original appearance.
In the triclinic crystal system, the rotational symmetry is very limited due to the lack of symmetry elements. The crystal does not possess any rotational symmetry axes other than the identity axis (no rotation). This means that the crystal does not exhibit any rotational symmetry about any axis.
Explanation of the Correct Answer
The correct answer to the question is option 'D' - 0. This means that the triclinic crystal system does not have any rotational symmetry axes.
The absence of rotational symmetry axes in the triclinic crystal system is due to its lack of symmetry elements. Unlike other crystal systems such as cubic, tetragonal, or hexagonal, which possess multiple symmetry elements, the triclinic system lacks any significant symmetry elements. This lack of symmetry leads to the absence of rotational symmetry axes.
Without rotational symmetry axes, the crystal structure of triclinic materials appears different when rotated about any axis. This lack of symmetry also affects the physical properties of triclinic crystals, such as their thermal expansion characteristics or optical properties.
Overall, the triclinic crystal system is characterized by its low symmetry and absence of rotational symmetry axes. This makes it distinct from other crystal systems and highlights its unique structural and physical properties.

Overall, the triclinic crystal system is characterized by its low symmetry and absence of rotational symmetry axes. This makes it distinct from other crystal systems and highlights its unique structural and physical properties.

We know that d = (zM) /(Na)*(a³) and
z = 2 for bcc
Substituting for M (96 g/mol), Na (Avogadro number), and a (0.314nm),
We get d = 10298 kg/m³
Hence, option c is correct.

In a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice, atoms touch along the face diagonal. The face diagonal is equal to √2 times the lattice parameter. Therefore, the shortest atom-to-atom contact distance is calculated as follows: 4.20 Å / √2 = 2.97 Å. Hence, the correct answer is option b.

Given:
- Atomic mass of gold = 197 u
- Edge length of the gold unit cell = 0.407 x 10^(-9) m
To find:
The atomic radius of gold.
Solution:
The face-centered unit cell of gold consists of atoms located at the corners and the face centers of the unit cell.
Step 1: Calculate the number of atoms in the unit cell:
In a face-centered unit cell, there are:
- 8 corner atoms, where each atom contributes 1/8th to the unit cell
- 6 face-centered atoms, where each atom contributes 1/2 to the unit cell
Total number of atoms in the unit cell = (8 x 1/8) + (6 x 1/2) = 4
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the unit cell:
The volume of a unit cell can be calculated using the formula:
Volume = (edge length)^3
Given:
Edge length of the unit cell = 0.407 x 10^(-9) m
Volume of the unit cell = (0.407 x 10^(-9))^3 = 6.835 x 10^(-29) m^3
Step 3: Calculate the volume occupied by each atom:
Since there are 4 atoms in the unit cell, the volume occupied by each atom can be calculated by dividing the total volume of the unit cell by the number of atoms:
Volume occupied by each atom = Volume of unit cell / Number of atoms = 6.835 x 10^(-29) / 4 = 1.70875 x 10^(-29) m^3
Step 4: Calculate the radius of each atom:
The volume occupied by each atom can also be calculated using the formula for the volume of a sphere:
Volume of a sphere = (4/3) x π x (radius)^3
Given:
Mass of gold atom = 197 u
Avogadro's number = 6.022 x 10^23
The mass of one gold atom can be converted to grams:
Mass of one gold atom = (197 u) x (1.66 x 10^(-27) kg/u) = 3.26 x 10^(-25) kg
The volume occupied by one gold atom can be calculated using its mass and the density of gold:
Density of gold = Mass / Volume
Volume = Mass / Density = (3.26 x 10^(-25) kg) / (19.3 x 10^3 kg/m^3) = 1.69 x 10^(-29) m^3
Equating the two expressions for the volume occupied by each atom:
1.70875 x 10^(-29) m^3 = (4/3) x π x (radius)^3
Simplifying the equation:
(radius)^3 = (1.70875 x 10^(-29) m^3) x (3/4π)
(radius)^3 = 3.226 x 10^(-29) m^3
Taking the cube root of both sides:
radius = (3.226 x 10^(-29))^(1/3) m
radius ≈
- Atomic mass of gold = 197 u
- Edge length of the gold unit cell = 0.407 x 10^(-9) m
To find:
The atomic radius of gold.
Solution:
The face-centered unit cell of gold consists of atoms located at the corners and the face centers of the unit cell.
Step 1: Calculate the number of atoms in the unit cell:
In a face-centered unit cell, there are:
- 8 corner atoms, where each atom contributes 1/8th to the unit cell
- 6 face-centered atoms, where each atom contributes 1/2 to the unit cell
Total number of atoms in the unit cell = (8 x 1/8) + (6 x 1/2) = 4
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the unit cell:
The volume of a unit cell can be calculated using the formula:
Volume = (edge length)^3
Given:
Edge length of the unit cell = 0.407 x 10^(-9) m
Volume of the unit cell = (0.407 x 10^(-9))^3 = 6.835 x 10^(-29) m^3
Step 3: Calculate the volume occupied by each atom:
Since there are 4 atoms in the unit cell, the volume occupied by each atom can be calculated by dividing the total volume of the unit cell by the number of atoms:
Volume occupied by each atom = Volume of unit cell / Number of atoms = 6.835 x 10^(-29) / 4 = 1.70875 x 10^(-29) m^3
Step 4: Calculate the radius of each atom:
The volume occupied by each atom can also be calculated using the formula for the volume of a sphere:
Volume of a sphere = (4/3) x π x (radius)^3
Given:
Mass of gold atom = 197 u
Avogadro's number = 6.022 x 10^23
The mass of one gold atom can be converted to grams:
Mass of one gold atom = (197 u) x (1.66 x 10^(-27) kg/u) = 3.26 x 10^(-25) kg
The volume occupied by one gold atom can be calculated using its mass and the density of gold:
Density of gold = Mass / Volume
Volume = Mass / Density = (3.26 x 10^(-25) kg) / (19.3 x 10^3 kg/m^3) = 1.69 x 10^(-29) m^3
Equating the two expressions for the volume occupied by each atom:
1.70875 x 10^(-29) m^3 = (4/3) x π x (radius)^3
Simplifying the equation:
(radius)^3 = (1.70875 x 10^(-29) m^3) x (3/4π)
(radius)^3 = 3.226 x 10^(-29) m^3
Taking the cube root of both sides:
radius = (3.226 x 10^(-29))^(1/3) m
radius ≈
