    Study Notes

    Solids

    • Solids have a definite volume and shape. Particles are tightly packed and move minimally.
    • Solids can be crystalline or amorphous.
    • Crystalline solids have an ordered arrangement of atoms/molecules.
    • Amorphous solids have a random arrangement of atoms.

    Types of Crystalline Solids: Discrete (Molecular) Structures

    • Solids can be classified by the structural entities (particles) and interparticle forces.
    • Non-polar solids have single atoms or molecules as their structural particles and dispersion forces. They tend to be soft, have low melting points, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Examples include CH₄ (methane) and I₂ (iodine).
    • Polar solids have polar molecules as their structural particle and dipole-dipole forces. They tend to be moderately soft, have low to moderate melting points, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. An example is CH₃Cl (chloromethane).
    • Hydrogen-bonded solids have polar molecules with hydrogen bonding and tend to be fairly soft, with low to moderate melting points, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. An example is H₂O (water).

    Types of Crystalline Solids: Extended Structures

    • Ionic solids have ions as structural particles and ionic bonding. They tend to be hard, brittle, high melting points, and good electrical conductors (when molten). Examples include NaCl (sodium chloride) and MgO (magnesium oxide).
    • Covalent network solids have atoms bonded by covalent bonds. They very hard, very high melting points, and poor conductors of heat and electricity. Examples include diamond (C) and quartz (SiO₂).
    • Metallic solids have atoms as structural particles with metallic bonding. They tend to be soft to hard, have high to very high melting points, and are good conductors of heat and electricity. Examples include copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and tungsten (W).

    Examples

    • Pb(s): metallic, mp 327°C, conducts electricity
    • P₄S₃(s): molecular, mp 172°C, yellow-green solid
    • BN(s): covalent network, mp 3000°C, very hard
    • CaCl₂(s): ionic, mp 772°C, conducts electricity when molten

    Structures of Crystals

    • Crystals have highly symmetrical shapes suggesting a regular ordered arrangement of atoms.
    • A unit cell is the smallest repeating unit that reproduces the entire crystal structure.
    • A lattice is a set of points that produce a repeating pattern when translated.
    • Unit cell contents consist of atoms whose positions are defined relative to lattice points.

    Lattice and Unit Cell Contents

    • A crystal structure is an infinite 3D arrangement of atoms. A unit cell is a repeat unit in this structure.
    • To find a unit cell, pick a point, identify points with the same environment, and this set is the lattice.
    • Unit cells may have atoms located at corners, edges, and the unit cell center.
    • The portion of an atom's content inside the unit cell should be considered.

    Cubic Lattices

    • Atoms at boundaries of a unit cell are shared with adjacent unit cells.
    • Count only the portions within the unit cell when determining the fraction of contributed atoms.
    • Cubes have 8 corners, 6 faces, and 12 edges.

    Simple Cubic Lattice

    • The lattice points of a simple cubic lattice lie at the corners of a cubic unit cell.
    • In a body-centered cubic (bcc) lattice, points lie at the corners and center of a cubic unit cell.
    • In a face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice, points lie at the corners and center of the faces of a cubic unit cell.

    Packing Efficiency

    • Coordination number (CN) and geometry of atoms around spheres are important in determining packing efficiency.
    • Many metallic elements crystallize in hexagonal close-packed (hcp), cubic close-packed (ccp, also called face-centered cubic, fcc), or body-centered cubic (bcc) structures.
    • Packing efficiency of hcp and ccp structures is 74%.
    • BCC structure has a packing efficiency of 68%.

    Metallic Alloys

    • Combinations of two or more metals (alloys) can improve properties like strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance.
    • Substitutional alloys involve replacing some atoms with another element, like replacing iron (Fe) with chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) for stainless steel.
    • Interstitial alloys involve smaller atoms fitting into the interstitial spaces between larger atoms, such as replacing iron (Fe) with carbon (C) for steel.

    Structures of Ionic Solids

    • Ionic bonding is nondirectional.
    • Larger anions are often in close-packing arrangements.
    • Smaller cations are found in holes (interstices).
    • Octahedral and tetrahedral sites are common interstitial locations in ionic structures.

    X-ray Diffraction

    • X-ray diffraction is used to determine the detailed arrangement of atoms in crystal structures.
    • Regularly spaced atoms in crystals act as diffraction gratings, which produce a diffraction pattern that reveal the crystal structure.
