Chapter 16, Problem 76E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The unit cell for nitinol needs to be determined, if the structure of nitinol consists of a simple cubic array of Ni atoms and an inner penetrating simple cubic array of Ti atoms. Ti atoms are found at the center of the cube of Ni atoms.

Concept Introduction:

Solids are composed of certain repeating basic units which are called as unit cells. These units represent the arrangement of atoms in a certain manner that repeats itself throughout the solid and make the crystal lattice.

Each solid has a different type of unit cell and crystal lattice that makes it unique from other solids. The atoms are arranged in unit cells.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Interpret the empirical formula of nitinol if the structure of nitinol consists of a simple cubic array of Ni atoms and an inner penetrating simple cubic array of Ti atoms. Ti atoms are found at the center of the cube of Ni atoms.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Interpret the coordination number of Ni and Ti in nitinol if the structure of nitinol consists of a simple cubic array of Ni atoms and an inner penetrating simple cubic array of Ti atoms. Ti atoms are found at the center of the cube of Ni atoms.
