Unit Cell
Unit Cell
The smallest part of a crystal which upon its continuous repetition in 3D,
again forms the crystal.
Physical properties of the crystal are directly proportional to that of the unit
cell.
Mass of crystal ∝Mass of unit cell
Volume of crystal ∝Volume of unit cell
Density of crystal = Volume of unit cell

Classification of Unit Cell : On the basis of shape
In known solids, only 7 unique shapes of unit cells are observed so far.
Cubic
Tetragonal
Orthorhombic
Monoclinic
Triclinic
Rhombohedral
Hexagonal
Except HEXAGONAL, all shapes have 6 faces. Hence, for HEXAGONAL (8

Lattice points
Lattice Points
These are the locations where similar type of particles can be present.
In a unit cell, there are four types of lattice points
1.Corners
2.Face centres
3.Centre of body
4.Edge Centre
1.Everything here is excluding hexagonal unit cell.
2.At the lattice points, since the centre of the particle is situated, hence
the particle may be shared in multiple unit cells.
Lattice Points
1.Each corner atom is shared by 8 unit cells.
2.Each body centre atom is shared by just 1 unit cell.
3.Each face centre atom is shared by 2 unit cells.
4.Each edge centre atom is equally shared by 4 unit cells.

The situation is called IDEAL SITUATION.
Here the cation will touch the anions and also anions will touch each others.
Case 1: If RR is 0.155: Perfect Triangular void
Case 2: If RR is 0.20: Imperfect Triangular void
Here the cation will touch the anions and but anions will not touch each
other.
●This case is valid for both the situations:
●the size of anion is kept the same but the size of cation increases.
●The size of cation is kept the same but the size of anion decreases then also
the anions won't touch each other.
Case 2: If RR is 0.20: Imperfect Triangular void
Whatever the case may be, ideal or non ideal / perfect or imperfect
Remember,
The cation will always touch the anions
Most important
If no other data is given in the question, we need to consider the
limiting values for the voids:
Radius of tetrahedral void = 0.225*radius of lattice
Radius of octahedral void = 0.414*radius of lattice

Defects
1.For a crystalline substance at 0K, entropy = 0
2.There are no defects in a crystalline substance at 0K
3.As the temperature increases, the defects arise in a crystal.
1.Point Defects:Imperfections at few random lattice points in
the crystal
Line Defects: Imperfections in a row of large number of lattice
points. Ie. when so many point defects are seen together, it is
seen as a line defect.
Plane defect:Imperfection in a plane of a large number of
lattice points. I.e, so many line defects are seen together
Defects or imperfection in Crystals
They are of 2 types
1.Stoichiometric Defect: The formula of compound does not change
2.Non Stoichiometric defect:The formula of the compound changes.
Point Defect
Schottky Defect: Stoichiometric defect
1.Pairs of cations and anions are missing from the crystal.
Density of crystal decreases.
2.Generally shown by compounds having high Coordination
Number.
3.Schottky defect = Theoretical density -observed density
4.For example, NaCl, KCl, CsCl and AgBr.
Schottky Defect: Stoichiometric defect
1.Some ions will leave their original positions and will be present at
different positions in the crystal.
2.The formula of the compound remains same.
3.The density of the compound remains same.
4.Shown by compounds having large difference in ionic radii.
5.for example, ZnS, AgCl, AgBr and AgI due to small size of Zn2+
and Ag+ ions
Frenkel Defect: Stoichiometric defect
Non Stoichiometric defect: Metal Excess defect by anion vacancy
1.Some anions will be missing from the crystal creating anion
vacancies.
2.These vacant sites will be occupied by electrons called F centres,
which are responsible for the colour of the system
3.Formula of the compound changes but electrical neutrality is
same.
4.Density decreases
5.Good conductors of heat and electricity.
Non Stoichiometric defect: Metal Excess defect by anion
vacancy
1.Alkali halides like NaCl and KCl show this type of defect.
2.When crystals of NaCl are heated in an atmosphere of sodium
vapour, the sodium atoms are deposited on the surface of the
crystal.
3.The Cl–ions diffuse to the surface of the crystal and combine with
Na atoms to give NaCl. This happens by loss of electron by sodium
atoms to form Na+ ions
Non Stoichiometric defect: Metal Excess defect by anion
vacancy
1.Some extra cations are present in the interstitial sites of the crystal.
2.Electrons are present in the other sites to maintain electrical neutrality.
3.Zinc oxide is white in colour at room temperature. On heating it loses
oxygen and turns yellow
Now there is excess of zinc in the crystal and its formula becomes Zn1+xO.
The excess Zn2+ ions move to interstitial sites and the electrons to
neighbouring interstitial sites.
Non Stoichiometric defect: Metal Excess defect by anion
vacancy
1.There are many solids which are difficult to prepare in the
stoichiometric composition and contain less amount of the metal as
compared to the stoichiometric proportion.
2.A typical example of this type is FeO which is mostly found with a
composition of Fe0.95O.
3.It may actually range from Fe0.93O to Fe0.96O.
4.In crystals of FeO some Fe2+ cations are missing and the loss of
positive charge is made up by the presence of required number of
Fe3+ ions
Non Stoichiometric defect: Metal Deficiency defect by
cation vacancy
1.It is due to doping of a small amount of substance to a crystalline
substance.
2.If molten NaCl containing a little amount of SrCl2(cations now should
be of greeter charge) is crystallised, some of the sites of Na+ ions are
occupied by Sr2+
3.Each Sr2+ replaces two Na+ ions. It occupies the site of one ion and
the other site remains vacant. The cationic vacancies thus produced
are equal in number to that of Sr2+ ions.
4.Another similar example is the solid solution of CdCl2 and AgCl.
