Summary tomic Structure and Chemical Bonding Atom: composed of a nucleus (neutron + proton)
and orbiting electrons around it. Electronic orbitals are quantized and governed by
the laws of quantum mechanics
When two atoms are brought together, depending on favourable energetics, they may form bond and the types of bond is decided primarily by the atomic structure (electronic configuration).
How do the bonding atoms arrange in 3D ?

Ideal crystal: Definition
An ideal crystal is a periodic array of structural units, such as atoms or molecules.
It can be constructed by the infinite repetition of these identical structural units in space.
Crystal structure can be described in terms of a lattice , and an/ a group of atom(s) attached to each lattice point. The /group of atom(s) is the basis .

Lattice and Unit Cell Lattice: An infinite array of discrete points with an arrangement
and orientation that appears exactly the same, from any of the points the array is viewed from.
Unit Cell: The smallest unit which, when repeated in space indefinitely will generate the space lattice.
Primitive cell: A unit cell which must contain precisely one lattice point.

A three dimensional Bravais lattice consists of all points with position vectors R that can be written as a linear combination of primitive vectors. The expansion coefficients
must be integers.R = n 1a + n 2b + n 3c

Principal Metallic Crystal Structures
Crystal Structure of elemental metals About 90 % of elemental metal crystallizes in one of the
three densely packed structures: (a) body centered cubic (bcc), (b) phase centered cubic (fcc) and (c) Hexagonal close packed (hcp)
These packing allows energy minimization and more tight bonds discussed earlier

present
Metallic bonding is non directional Nearest neighbour distances tend to be small to
lower the bond energy

Ceramic crystals Ceramics are composed of at least two elements. Atomic bonding range from purely ionic to purely
covalent.
Degree of ionic character for a two element ceramic depends on the electronegativities ( X A and X B) of the atoms

Ionic crystals Consists of positively charged cations and negatively
charged anions.
Crystal structure is influenced by two factors: Magnitude of electric charge on each component ions Relative sizes of the cations and the anions
Crystal must be electrically neutral
Stable crystals form when anions surrounding a cation are all in contact with the cation.

Octahedral Voids In the octahedral site, there are six
nearest neighbors (ions/atoms) equidistant from the center of the
void
This site is called octahedral since the atoms or ions surrounding the site
forms a eight sided octahedron In Fcc structure, there is one
octahedral site at the center of the
cell and there is one octahedral site on each cube edge of the cell
Therefore, fcc cell has total 4
octahedral sites or one octahedral site/atom This is a copyright material

Here we have octahedral sites in the bcc lattice. We have 12/4 + 6/2 = 6 positions per unit cell
Size of the largest sphere that can fit in an octahedral void is 0.414r, where r is the radius of the spheres of the close packed array.

Tetrahedral Voids
In the tetrahedral site, there are four nearest atoms/ionsequidistant from the center of the tetrahedron
A regular tetrahedron is formed when the centers of the fouratoms surrounding the void are joined
In fcc cell tetrahedral sites are located at (0.25, 0.25, 0.25positions)
There are eight tetrahedral sites in fcc cell ie 2 voids/atom
Size of largest sphere that can fit into the tetrahedral void ofa close packed structure = 0.225 r, where r is the radius of asphere of the close packed structure.
