Review: Common Metal Structures hcp bcc ccp (fcc) ABCABC not close-packed ABABAB • Features • Filled outer shells spherical atom cores, isotropic bonding • Maximize number of bonds high coordination number • High density
Ionic Bonding & Structures Isotropic bonding; alternate anions and cations Which is more stable? – – – – – – + – – + – – – – – – – + – – – Just barely stable
central atom drawn smaller than available space for clarity http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/icl/heyes/structure_of_solids/Lecture3/Lec3.html#anchor4
Radius Ratio Rules Consider: CN = 6, 8 12
rc + RA 2RA rc + RA 2RA Octahedral Coordination: CN = 6 a
2(rc + RA) 2RA Cubic Coordination: CN = 8 a
2RA rc + RA Cuboctahedral: CN = 12 rc + RA = 2RA rc = RA rc/RA = 1
Radius Ratio Rules if rc is smaller than fRA, then the space is too big and the structure is unstable
