What type of structure does a crystalline solid consist of?
Repeating lattice structure
In a crystal, where do the atoms reside as per the text?
At the corners of cubes
How does a crystal separate, or 'cleave,' when it is broken?
Along specific atomic planes
What is one piece of evidence for the regular arrangement of atoms in a crystal?
The crystal cleaves along flat surfaces
What is being calculated when determining the spacing between adjacent atomic planes that separate when a crystal cleaves?
Spacing d between two adjacent atomic planes

If a crystal cleaves along a face diagonal, what is being calculated?
Spacing between adjacent atomic planes
What is the evidence for the regular arrangement of atoms in a crystal?
Flat surfaces formed when a crystal cleaves
If the side length of the cubes is doubled, what happens to the spacing between adjacent atomic planes?
It remains the same
What term describes the separation process that occurs when a crystal cleaves?
Cleavage
This quiz involves calculating the spacing between two adjacent atomic planes in a crystalline solid that cleaves along a face diagonal. The crystal consists of atoms arranged in a repeating lattice structure.
