Chapter 24, Problem 62IAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The cubic unit cell is to be identified in the structure of ${\text{K}}_{\text{2}}\text{Pt}\left[{\text{Cl}}_{\text{6}}\right]$ and the structure of ${\text{K}}_{\text{2}}\text{Pt}\left[{\text{Cl}}_{\text{6}}\right]$ is to be described in terms of holes occupied by the ions.

Concept introduction:

The cubic unit cell can be described as the smallest repeating unit cell which is placed at a right angle and has equal cell-edge lengths in such a manner that every axis is represented as a Cartesian coordinate. There are eight atoms present at each corner of each cube in every cubic cell. These atoms present in each corner also are shared with the neighboring cells.
