KF has ccp structure. Calculate the radius of unit cell if the side of the cube is 400 pm. How many F
ions Octrahedral voids are there in this unit cellFor ccp structure, edge length, a = 2
Hence, radius r = a/2 = 400/2 = 282.84 pm
Now, we knwo that,
In CCP structure,
Contribution of atoms on corners = 1/8 x 8 = 1
Contribution of atoms at faces = 1/2 x 6 = 3
So, no. of total atoms(N) = 1+3 = 4
Now, the octahedral voids = N and
Tetrahedral voids = 2N
So, here 4 Fluroide ions are in octahedral voids.
Hence, radius r = a/2 = 400/2 = 282.84 pm
Now, we knwo that,
In CCP structure,
Contribution of atoms on corners = 1/8 x 8 = 1
Contribution of atoms at faces = 1/2 x 6 = 3
So, no. of total atoms(N) = 1+3 = 4
Now, the octahedral voids = N and
Tetrahedral voids = 2N
So, here 4 Fluroide ions are in octahedral voids.
