(a) If the radius of the Br ion is 0.182 nm, how large a cation can fit in each of the tetrahedral hole.

(b) AgI crystallizes in a cubic closed packed ZnS structure. What fraction of tetrahedral site is occupied by Ag ion ? 
(c) At what temp. range, most of the metals becomes super conductors ?

1 Answer

Answer :

(a) For a tetrahedron the limiting ratio is 0.225 – 0.414 For largest cation highest value 0.414 would be considered. r + / r– = 0.414 r + = 0.414 × 0.182 = 0.075 nm. (b) In FCC there are 8 tetrahedral voids. Out of this ½ is occupied by Ag cation. (c) 2 k – 5 k.
