The "OLIVINE" series of minerals consists of crystal in which Fe^(2+) and Mg^(2+) ions may substitute for each other causing susbstitutional impurity defects without changing the volume of unit cell. In "OLIVINE" series of minerals, O^(2-) ions exist as fcc with Si^(4+) occupying one-fourth of OVs and divalent metal ions occupying one-fourth of OVs and divalent metal ions occupying one-fourth of TVs . The density of "forsterite" (magnesium silicate) is 3.21 g cm^(-3) land that of "fayalite" (ferrous silicate) is 4.34 g cm^(-3) . If in "forsterite mineral" bivalent Mg^(2+) ions are to be replaced by unipositive Na^(o+) ions, and if Na^(o+) ions are occupying half of TV_(s) in fcc lattice, the arrangement of rest of the constituents is kept same, then the formula of the new solid is:

In a cubic close packed structure structure of mixed oxides, the lattice is made of oxide ions, one eighth of tetrahedral voids are occupied by the divalent ions (A^(2+)) where one half of octahedral voids are occupied by trivalent ions (B^(3+)) . What is the formula of the oxide ?

The well known mineral fluorite is chemically calcium fluoride. It is known that in one unit cell of this mineral there are 4 Ca^(2+) ions and 8F^(-) ions and that Ca^(2+) ions are arranged in a fcc-lattice. The F^(-) ions fill all the tetrahedral holes in the face centred cubic lattice of Ca^(2+) ions. The edge of the unit cell is 5.46 xx 10^(-8) cm in length. The density of the solid is 3.18 g cm^(-3) . Use this information to calculate Avogadro's number. (Molar mass of CaF_(2) = 78.08 g mol^(-1) )
