Nickel metal crystallizes in a cubic closest packed structure. What is the coordination number of a nickel atom?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The coordination number of nickel in the cubic closest packing structure is 12.

Step by step solution

01

Define the coordination number

The number of particles surrounding a single particle in the crystal lattice is the coordination number.

02

Calculate the coordination number of cobalt

In the cubic closest packing structure, four constituent particles are present in the layer above, four constituent particles are present in the layer below, and four constituent particles are present in the layer of the unit cell. Hence, the coordination number of nickel in cubic closet packing structure is 12

Therefore, the coordination number of nickel in the cubic closest packing structure is 12.

Silane (\({\rm{Si}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{4}}}\)), phosphine (\({\rm{P}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{3}}}\)), and hydrogen sulfide (\({{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{S}}\)) melt at \({\rm{ - 18}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{o}}}\)C, \({\rm{ - 13}}{{\rm{3}}^{\rm{o}}}\)C, and \({\rm{ - 8}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}\)C, respectively. What does this suggest about the polar character and intermolecular attractions of the three compounds?

If a severe storm results in the loss of electricity, it may be necessary to use a clothesline to dry laundry. In many parts of the country in the dead of winter, the clothes will quickly freeze when they are hung on the line. If it does not snow, will they dry anyway? Explain your answer

Explain why ice, which is a crystalline solid, has a melting temperature of 0 °C, whereas butter, which is an amorphous solid, softens over a range of temperatures.

What phase changes will take place when water is subjected to varying pressure at a constant temperature of \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.00}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{C}}\)? At \({\rm{4}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{C}}\) ? At \({\rm{ - 4}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{C}}\)?

From the phase diagram for water determine the state of water at:

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{(a)}}\,{\rm{3}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\,{\rm{and}}\,{\rm{85}}\,{\rm{kPa}}\\{\rm{(b) - 1}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\,{\rm{and}}\,{\rm{40}}\,{\rm{kPa}}\\{\rm{(c) - 1}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\,{\rm{and}}\,{\rm{0}}{\rm{.1}}\,{\rm{kPa}}\\{\rm{(d)7}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\,{\rm{and}}\,{\rm{3}}\,{\rm{kPa}}\\{\rm{(e)4}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\,{\rm{and}}\,{\rm{0}}{\rm{.1}}\,{\rm{kPa}}\\{\rm{(f)6}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\,{\rm{and}}\,{\rm{50}}\,{\rm{kPa}}\end{aligned}\)
