STATEMENT -1 : Diamond is a covalent solid . STATEMENT -2 The co-ordination number of each carbon atom is diamond is 4
Carbon and silicon belong to group IV . The maximum coordination number of carbon in commonly occuring compounds is four whereas that of silicon is six. This is due to
In diamond , the C.N. of carbon and number of carbon atoms per unit cell respectively are
In diamond, effective number of carbon atoms along any body diagonal of unit cell is n//4 . What is the value of n
Valency and Oxidation number are different for an element. Valency of carbon is generally 4, however, the oxidation state may be -4,-2 0,+2,-1 etc. In the compounds containing carbon. hydrogen and oxygen the oxidation number of carbon can be calculated as "Oxidation number of carbon"=(2n_(O)-n_(H))/(n_(C) Where, n_(H), n_(O) and n_(C) are number of respective atoms Oxidation state of carbon in diamond is:
The coordination number and number of carbon atoms in a unit cell of diamond is :-
