Only those atoms which four covalent bonds produce a repetitive three dimesional structure using only covalent bonds., e.g. , diamond structure.The latter is based on a FCC lattice where lattice points are occupied by carbon atoms.Every atom in this structure is surrounded tetrahedrally by four others.Germanium, silicon and grey tin also crystallize in the same way as diamond. (Given :`N_A=6xx10^(23) sin 54^@44'=0.8164`)
If the edge length is `3.60Å`, density of diamond crystal is

A

0.34

B

0.66

C

0.26

D

0.48

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`sqrt2a=8r sin54^(@)44''thereforea=4.62 r`
`"Packing fraction"=(8times4/3pir^(3))/a^(3)=0.34`

Percentage of tetrahedral voids occupied by carbon atoms per unit cell of diamond is

Tetrahedral voids is surrounded by four atoms. Which atoms in the given figure are around the tetrahedral voids ?

In a diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms tetrahedrally. Alternate tetrahedral voids are occupied by carbon atoms. The number of carbon atoms per unit cell is:

Diamond is hard because all the four valence electrons are bonded to four carbon atoms by comvlent bonds .

Carbon forms four covalent bonds by sharing its four valence electrons with four univalent atoms, e.g., hydrogen. After the formation of four bonds, carbon attains the electronic configuration of
