Question

(a) Write the formula for the ionic solids depending on the choise of the ions fill the cavities below.
       I.    A2+ and X- ions, 1/2 of the octahedral cavities are occupied.
       II.   A2+ and X2- ions, 1/2 of the tetrahedral cavities are occupied.
       III.  A3+ and X2- ions, 2/3 of the octahedral cavities are occupied.
       IV.  A2+, B3+ and X2- ions, 1/8 of the tetrahedral cavities and 1/2 of the octahedral cavities are occupied.

(b)  The sublimation energy of the solid Na atom is +107 kJ.mol-1, the ionization energy of the Na atom is +496 kJ.mol-1, the 1st and 2nd electron affinities of the oxygen atom are -142 kJ.mol-1 and  +798 kJ.mol-1, respectively, the bond energy of the O2 molecule is +498 kJ.mol-1 and the lattice energy of Na2O is -2525 kJ.mol-1. Calculate the formation energy of the Na2O crystal by drawing the corresponding Born-Haber cycle.

(c) Which type of (p- or n-type) semiconductors are formed by the addition of Al and P to Ge. Explain and draw the related schemes (Al:13, P:15, Ge:32).
