A crystal structure has a face-centered cubic (FCC) arrangement of atoms A and atoms B occupy all the octahedral voids. If the atoms A are removed, what is the resulting lattice type for atoms B?
Simple Cubic
Body-centered Cubic
FCC
Hexagonal Close Packed
A novel crystalline solid exhibits anisotropic conductivity, high melting point, and is insoluble in common organic solvents. However, upon heating above a critical temperature, it transforms into another solid form that becomes isotropic in conductivity. What can be inferred about the nature of the transition and the high-temperature phase?
The transition is melting, and the high-temperature phase is a liquid.
The transition is sublimation, and the high-temperature phase is a gas.
The transition is a solid-state phase change to a more disordered structure, and the high-temperature phase is likely more isotropic and potentially amorphous or cubic.
The transition is a chemical decomposition, and the high-temperature phase consists of simpler molecular species.
Consider the Born-Haber cycle for the formation of an ionic compound MX. Which of the following factors would NOT directly influence the lattice energy?
The charge of the ions M and X
The internuclear distance between M and X
The electronegativity difference between M and X
The Madelung constant for the crystal structure
FeO is often found with a composition closer to . This is primarily due to:
Metal excess defect due to interstitial Fe ions
Metal deficiency defect with ions occupying some sites
Anion excess defect due to interstitial oxygen ions
Presence of impurities
