Chapter 3, Problem 3.86P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

In each unit cell the ions of each type should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

When the atoms or molecules are charged it is referred as ions. Here the electron numbers are not equal to proton numbers when the molecules are charged. Depending on the number of electrons and protons the atom can get the negative or the positive charge.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure should be described as a lattice and as a basis. The answer in part (a) should be verified.

Concept Introduction:

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Type A and type B coordination number should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

When the atoms or molecules are charged it is referred as ions. Here the electron numbers are not equal to proton numbers when the molecules are charged. Depending on the number of electrons and protons the atom can get the negative or the positive charge.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The common name given to the crystal structure should be determined.
