Chapter 12, Problem 12.11VP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Magnesium boride is stated to behave as a superconductor and its unit cell is given in the Figure. A boron atom in the center of unit cell (left) which is part of hexagonal close-packed crystal structure (right). The formula of magnesium boride is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Magnesium boride is an ionic compound which behaves as a superconductor. Its chemical formula is B2Mg . It has hexagonal crystal lattice structure.

Crystal structure of a material shows the number of ions, atoms or molecule in the ordered arrangement in the material.

There are different types of crystal lattice such as hexagonal, body centered, face centered and end centered cubic lattices.

To determine: The formula of magnesium boride.
