A cell of nickel arsenide is shown below. If this cell contains the unit cell for this compound, determine the correct formula for nickel arsenide. There is 1 nickel atom per unit cell as a result of the 1 8 contributions from each of the eight corner nickel atoms. There is one nickel atom per unit cell as a result of the the 1 4 the four edgecentered nickel atoms. The 2 atoms of arsenic are completely contained within the unit cell. Formula is NiAs. There are two formula units of NiAs per unit cell. CHEM 1515 1 Spring 1998

(Continued) b) BeS (Be 2+ 0.41 Å:S 2 1.70 Å) d) CsI (Cs + 1.81 Å:I 2.06 Å) 0.41 Å 1.70 Å = 0.241 Two possible structures, but we only discussed cubic closest packed so that is the description to look for. The anions are cubic closest packed with the cations in half the tetrahedral holes 1.81 Å 2.06 Å = 0.879 The anions are in a simple cubic structure with th cations in the cubic hole. PS2.7. A superalloy of nickel and aluminum consists of aluminum atoms at the corners of a cube and nickel atoms in the center of each face of the cube. What is the composition of this superalloy? one aluminum atom from the eight 1 8 three nickel atoms from the twelve 1 4 the six face centered atoms. AlNi 3 PS2.8. The compounds K 2 O, CuI and ZrI 4 all can be described as cubic closest packed anions with the cations in tetrahedral holes. What fraction of the tetrahedral holes is occupied in each compound? K 2 O : 4 O 2 in the unit cell. From the formula K 2 O there are 8 K + in the unit cell. Since there are eight tetrahedra holes all of the holes are filled. CuI : 4 I in the unit cell. From the formula CuI there are 4 Cu + in the unit cell. Since there are eight tetrahedra holes half of the holes are filled. ZrI 4 : 4 I in the unit cell. From the formula ZrI 4 there is one Zr 4+ in the unit cell. Since there are eight tetrahedra holes one-eighth of the holes are filled. CHEM 1515 4 Spring 1998
