A compound forms hexagonal closed packed...

A compound forms hexagonal closed packed structure. What is the total number of voids in 0.5 mol of it ? How many of these are tetrahedral voids ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1 Mole of hexagonal packed structure contains 1 mol of octahedral voids and two moles of tetrahedral voids. Therefore, 0.5 moles of hexagonal packed structure contain 0.5 moles of octahedral voids and 1 mole of tetrahedral voids.
No. of tetrahedral voids `= 6.022 xx 10^(23)`
No. of octahedral voids `= ( 1)/( 2) xx ` no. of tetrahedral voids
No. of octahedral voids `= ( 1)/( 2) xx 6.022 xx 10^(23)`
`= 3.011 xx 10^(23)`
Total No. of voids `= ( 6.022 + 3.011 ) xx 10^(23)`
`= 9.033 xx 10^(23)`

    Explain AAAA and ABABA and ABCABC type of three dimensional packing with the help of neat diagram. Voids : The empty spaces between the three dimensional layers are known as voids. There are two types of common voids possible. They are tetrahedral and octahedral voids. Tetrahedral void: A void formed by three spheres of a layer in contact with each other and also with a sphere on the top or bottom layer is a hole between four spheres. The spheres are arranged at the vertices of a regular tetrahedron such a hole or void is called tetrahedral void. Octahedral void: A hole or void formed by three spheres of a hexagonal layer and another three spheres of the adjacent layer is a hole between six spheres. The spheres are arranged at the vertices of a regular octahedron. Such a hole or void is called octahedral void.
