cubic and hexagonal close packing
Concept of types of solids based on bonding
Metallic and ionic solids
Concept of Close packing in solids

2. Bonding in Solids There are four types of solid:
Molecular (formed from molecules) - usually soft with low melting points and poor conductivity.
Covalent network - very hard with very high melting points and poor conductivity.
Ionic (formed form ions) - hard, brittle, high melting points and poor conductivity.
Metallic (formed from metal atoms) - soft or hard, high melting points, good conductivity, malleable and ductile.

3. CLASSIFICATION OF SOLIDS BASED ON BONDING

Non-molecular
COVALENT
Molecule held together by primary covalent bonds
Intermolecular bonding is Van der walls

6. Covalent Network Solids
Bonding in Solids
Covalent Network Solids
Atoms held together in large networks.
Examples: diamond, graphite, quartz (SiO2), silicon carbide (SiC), and boron nitride (BN).
In diamond:
each C atom has a coordination number of 4;
each C atom is tetrahedral;
there is a three-dimensional array of atoms.
Diamond is hard, and has a high melting point (3550 C).

9. What hybrid state do you think the carbon has?
Diamond
Hard Structure
- Tetrahedral atomic arrangement
What hybrid state do you think the carbon has?

10. Bonding in Solids Covalent Network Solids In graphite
each C atom is arranged in a planar hexagonal ring;
layers of interconnected rings are placed on top of each other;
the distance between C atoms is close to benzene (1.42 Å vs Å in benzene);
the distance between layers is large (3.41 Å);
electrons move in delocalized orbitals (good conductor).

12. What hybrid state do you think the carbon has?
Graphite
- Form planar sheets actually more stable than diamond
What hybrid state do you think the carbon has?

18. The CsCl and NaCl Structures
CsCl NaCl

19. Bonding in Solids Ionic Solids NaCl Structure CsCl Structure
Each ion has a coordination number of 6.
Face-centered cubic lattice.
Cation to anion ratio is 1:1.
Examples: LiF, KCl, AgCl and CaO.
CsCl Structure
Cs+ has a coordination number of 8.
Different from the NaCl structure (Cs+ is larger than Na+).

20. Cubic and Hexagonal Unit Cells
There are 7 basic crystal systems, but we only concerne
CUBIC and HEXAGONAL.
All sides
equal length
All angles
are 90 degrees
