Silicon carbide, SiC, is a very hard, high-melting solid. What kind of crystal forces account for these properties?
The CsCl structure is a simple cubic array of chloride ions with a cesium ion at the center of each cubic array (see Exercise 69). Given that the density of cesium chloride is 3.97 g/cm3, and assuming that the chloride and cesium ions touch along the body diagonal of the cubic unit cell, calculate the distance between the centers of adjacent Cs+ and Cl ions in the solid. Compare this value with the expected distance based on the sizes of the ions. The ionic radius of Cs+ is 169 pm, and the ionic radius of Cl is 181 pm.
MnO has either the NaCI type structure or the CsCI type structure (see Exercise 69). The edge length of the MnO unit cell is 4.47 10-8 cm and the density of MnO is 5.28 g/cm3. a. Does MnO crystallize in the NaCl or the CsCl type structure? b. Assuming that the ionic radius of oxygen is 140. pm, estimate the ionic radius of manganese.

(a) Determining an Atom Radius from Lattice Dimensions: Gold has a face-centered unit cell, and its density is 19.32 g/cm3. Calculate the radius of a gold atom. (b) The Structure of Solid Iron: Iron has a density of 7.8740 g/cm3, and the radius of an iron atom is 126 pm. Verify that solid iron has a body-centered cubic unit cell. (Be sure to note that the atoms in a body-centered cubic unit cell touch along the diagonal across the cell. They do not touch along the edges of the cell.) (Hint: The diagonal distance across the unit cell = edge 3.)

An amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.
