General Introduction: Solids are the substances having definite volume and shape. Solids have a regular arrangement of their constituent particles. The interparticle forces are very strong. The particle motion is restricted to vibratory motion only. Basically the solids are of two types:1) Amorphous solids 2) Crystalline Solids 1) Amorphous solids:- Solids in which the constituent particles (ions, atom) do not possess an orderly arrangement are called as amorphous solids. E.g.:- Glass, rubber etc. Properties of Amorphous solids:a) They dont possess sharp melting and boiling points. b) They undergo irregular cleavage when cut with a knife. c) They are isotropic in nature i.e. they have same physical properties in all directions d) They are pseudo solids. e) In amorphous solids the regular arrangement of constituent ion is present over a very small region i.e. they are supposed to have a short range order. 2) Crystalline Solids:- The solids in which the constituent particles are arranged in a regular pattern are known as crystalline solids e.g:- NaCl, ZnS etc. Properties of Crystalline solids:a) They possess sharp melting & boiling points i.e. they abruptly change into liquid state at its melting point. b) They undergo regular cleavage when cut with a knife. c) They are anisotropic in nature i.e. they have different physical properties in different directions. d) They are true solids. e) They have regular arrangement of constituent particle. The crystalline solids can be further subdivided depending on the nature of interparticle forces Types of Crystalline solids i) Ionic Solids ii) Metallic Solids iii) Covalent Solids iv) Molecular Solids i) Ionic Solids:- In these the constituent particles are positively & negatively charged ions which are held together by strong electrostatics forces of attraction. e.g.:- NaCl In NaCl crystal each Na+ ion is surrounded by six Clions & Vice versa.

Properties:1. Due to the fact that the ions are held together and are not free to move they are poor conductors of electricity in the solid state 2. They are hard and brittle. 3. High melting and boiling points. 4. Soluble in water and other polar solvents. 5. High enthalpies of vaporization. Metallic Solids:- In these solids the constituent particles are positively charged kernel present in a sea of mobile electrons. The structure is also called as electron sea model.

Properties:1. They have high electrical and thermal conductivity due to the presence of mobile electrons 2. They can be hard as well as soft. 3. They are malleable and ductile in nature. 4. They possess metallic lusture.

Covalent Solids:- Covlent solids are also known as Network Solids.In these the constituent particles are atoms which are held together by system of covalent bonds. e.g.:- Diamond and graphite etc. These covalent bonds form a network resulting in giant molecules. Properties:1. Covalent solids are directional in nature. 2. They are hard. 3. They have high melting points 4. They are poor conductor of electricity. 5. They have high enthalpies of fusion. Example are diamond and graphite are: Structure of Diamond Features of structure of Graphite: Each carbon atom is sp2 hybridized It is bonded to three carbon atoms by covalent bond. Fourth e- is used for bond formation Graphite has layered structure consisting of hexagonal rings. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to delocalized nature of e.Molecular Solids:In these Solids, The Constituents particles are Molecule. The molecular solids are furthers divided in two types. Polar Molecule Solids Non Polar Molecule Solids Polar Molecule Solids:- These are those crystalline solids in which the constituents particle are polar molecule like HCl , SO2 etc. The forces holding these molecule together are dipole-dipole forces of attraction.(Which is again a type of Vander Waals forces) Properties:1. They are soft. 2. They are non-conductors of electricity. 3. The Mp and Bp are comparatively higher than Non polar Molecular. 4. Their Mp and Bp are not so high, they even exits liquids or gases at room temperature. Non-Polar Molecule Solids:- These are those crystalline solids in which the constituents particle either atoms of Noble gases or non polar molecule like H2 ,Cl2 ,Br2 Etc. The forces holding these molecule together weak Vander Waals forces. Properties:1. They are soft. 2. They are non-conductors of electricity because they do not have any ions. 3. Their Mp and Bp are quite low. 4. They Generally exits liquids or gases at room temperature.

Rigid tetrahedral structure of diamond Features of structures of Diamonds: Each carbon atom is sp3 hybridized and linked to four other carbon atoms by single covalent bonds. There is a three dimensional network of covalent bonds this makes diamond extremely hard in nature. Diamond is a poor conductor of electricity due to the absence of free electrons.

Q1) What is the difference between glass and Quartz when both are made up of SiO4 tetrahedral? Q2) What are Pseudo solids? Why the window panes of old buildings are thick at the bottom? iii) End Centred. Particles are located at the corners and also at the center of the end faces.

Q3) Write the difference between Amorphous Solids and Crystalline solids . (Home Work) Some Basic Definitions: The smallest repeating unit which when repeated again and again result in the formation of space lattice is called as Unit cell.

Diagram of unit cell The perfect regular arrangement of atoms, molecules in crystalline solids is called as space lattice The position occupied by the constituent atom or ions in the space lattice are known as lattice points. Each unit cell is characterized by distances a, b and c along the three edges and angles , , between these edges.

Types of Unit Cells: i) Primitive unit cell. A unit cell is called primitive unit cell if it has particles only at the corners. It is also called simple unit cell. (ii) Centered unit cells: In this type of unit cells, particles are present not only at the corners but also at some other positions. These are of three types: i) Face Centred: - Particles are located at the corners and also in the center of each face. ii) Body Centred: -Particles are located at the corners and also at the center within the body.

Calculation of the Number of points in a unit cell:The following points should be taken into consideration for calculating the contributions. 1. A point present at the corner of a unit cell is shared by eight other unit cells. Therefore, each such point has contribution of 1/8 to the unit cell. 2. A point present on the face of a unit cell is shared by the two unit cells. Therefore, each such points has a contribution of 1/2 to the unit cell. 3. A point present on the edge of the unit cell is shared by four unit cells. Therefore, each such point has a contribution of 1/4 to the unit cell. 4. A point present within the body of the unit cell is not shared by any other unit cell. Its contribution to the unit cell is 1. Simple or Primitive cubic cell: In a simple cubic cell, points are present only at the eight corners. Since a point present at each corner is shared by eight other unit cell, therefore, Contribution by one point present at corner to the unit cell = 1/8 Contribution by points present at eight corners to the unit cell = 8 1/8 = 1 Face centred cubic cell: In this type of unit cell, the points are located at the eight corners as well at the center of each face of the unit cell. Contribution by eight points present at the corners = 1

Contribution by each point present on the center of each face = 1/2. Contribution by six points present on the center of six faces = 1/2 6 = 3 Total no. of points present in a face centred cubic unit tell (fcc) = 1 + 3 = 4 Body Centred Cubic unit cell: In the body centred cubic unit cell (bcc) points (atoms or particles ) are located at all the eight corners and also in the body of the unit cell. Contribution by eight points present at the corners = 1 Contribution by the point present in the body of unit cell = 1 Total number of points present in the body centred cubic unit cell (bcc) = 1 + 1 = 2 End Centred Cubic: the points are located at the eight corners as well as one pair of opposite faces : Contribution by eight points present at the corners = 1 Contribution by point present at two faces= x 2=1 Total contribution = 1 +1 = 2 Seven Crystal Systems: Cubic Axial distance Cubic a=b=c cannot exist in each case. fourteen different types of lattice called Barvias lattices are formed according to the arrangement of the points in the different unit cells involved.

Closed Packing:- An arrangement of atoms in which the vacant space is minimized is called as closed packing. The closed packing can be present in i) One Dimension, ii) Two Dimensions iii) 3 Dimensions. i) Packing in One Dimension:- Only way of arranging the particles is in the form of a straight line. Now we can introduce a new term co-ordination number which can be defined as the number of sphere which are in contact with a given sphere. e.g.:- In 1 dimensional packing. The arrangement is shown above obviosuly coordination number is 2. In second arrangement, the spheres of second layer are placed in the depressions of the spheres of first row

Six neighboring spheres are touching the given sphere. In this case 52.4% of available space is occupied. Close packing in 3 D can be done in two ways i) Hexagonal close packing ii) Cubic close packing i) Hexagonal close packing Closed packing in 3D through extension of square close packing in 2D: If the arrangement of sphere obtained in square close packing in 2D is further extended by increasing the number of layers we obtain an arrange of type ABA. This is called as Hexagonal close packing.

Packing in 1-D Packing in 2D:- The arrangement can be done in 2 ways. i) Square close packing ii) Hexagonal close packing i) Square close packing In the first arrangement, the second layer of sphere lies exactly above the first row. So there will be horizontal as well as vertical alignment. This can be shown as In this arrangement 60.4% of available space is occupied. The co-ordination number of each sphere in square close packing is 4.

i) Hexagonal close packing Four neighbouring spheres are touching the given sphere. This arrangement is called as square close packing. ii) Hexagonal close packing in this arrangement the second row are different from the first row, but the arrangement of atoms in third row is same as that of first row.

ii) Cubic close Packing

ii) Cubic Close packing When we extend the 2-D hexagonal close packing into 3D. The packing can be shown as The spheres in the first layer are labeled as A on placing these sphere two types of voids are formed which are labeled as B & C. Now the spheres of second layer can be placed on voids B.

When we placed the spheres on the void marked as B than the void marked as A and C remain unoccupied. Whenever a sphere of second layer is placed above the void of the first layer a tetrahedral void is formed. The void C represent the tetrahedral voids. The third layer of sphere can be placed on the tetrahedral voids marked as C on the second layer. The repeated layer labeled ABCABC
AB is the face diagonal while AC and BC are the edge length (a). Therefore AB2 = a2 + a2 (AB)2 = (2a2) AB = a 2 . As the spheres A and B are actually touching each other face diagonal AB = 2R

2R = a 2 or R =

1 a 2 or a 2 2

In the right angle triangle ABD, in which AD represent the body diagonal AD = AB2 + BD2 = ( 2a) 2 + a 2 = 3a AD = 2R + 2r ( R=> radius of atom ) ( r = radius of tetrahedral void) 2R + 2r =

Tetrahedral Voids: A tetrahedral voids is formed when the triangular void made by three spheres of a particular layer and touching each other has a contact with one sphere either in the upper layer or the layer below it. Thus a tetrahedral void is formed void is formed when four spheres placed at the corners of a tetrahedron each other as shown in this figure.

Calculation of the Ratio. A tetrahedral void has been shown in the figure. Here three spheres from the triangle base while the fourth sphere lies at the top. The shaded sphere occupies the tetrahedral void. Let the radius of void and sphere be r and R respectively. Let the edge length a.

Thus, for tetrahedral void, the radius ratio = 0.225. Characteristics of Tetrahedral Void (hole): Size of the void is much smaller than that of the spheres. Bigger the size of the spheres, more will be the size of the void. For tetrahedral void, the ratio of the radius of void (r) to that of the spheres (R) is 0.225 i.e. r/R = 0.225. Since in ccp and fcc arrangement, each spheres is in contact with three spheres in the layer above it and three spheres of the layer below it, there are two tetrahedral voids per sphere. *In packing consisting of N spheres no. of tetrahedral voids is 2N.

Radius ratio:- Ratio of radius of cation to radius of anion

Relation Between Edge Length and Density in a unit Cell: Let us derive a general relation between the edge length and the density in a unit cell. Consider a unit cell with edge length=a pm = a 10 -10 cm. Volume of the unit cell = (a10-10 cm)3 = a 3 10-30 cm3 Density of unit cell =

R is called as Radius ratios. Radius Ratio= The R allowed size of the cation is determined by the critical radius ratio. If the cation is too small, then it will attract the anions into each other and they will collide hence the compound would collapse, this case occurs when the radius ratio drops below 0.155. At the stability limit the cation is touching all the anions and the anions are just touching at their edges (radius ratio = 0.155).

Structures of substances related to close packed lattice. Structure of NaCl: The salient features of this structure are: (a) The Cl - ions form cubic close packed arrangement, i.e. they are located at all the eight corners of the cube and also at centre of each face. (b) The Na + ions occupy all the octahedral holes. In the cubic unit cell, the Na + ions are present at the centre of each edge of cube and one Na + ion is located at the body centre of the cube.

The fluoride ions occupy all the tetrahedral voids in the lattice of Ca ++ ions. (2) Since, there are two tetrahedral holes for each Ca ++ ion and F - ions occupy all the tetrahedral there are two F - ions for Ca ++ ion. Thus, the stoichiometry of crystal is 1 : 2 (3) In this arrangement co-ordination number of Ca ++ ions is 8 and that of F - ion is 4. Thus, CaF 2 has 8 : 4 coordination.

Imperfections or Defects in Solids Defects in Solids are of two types 1) Point Defects 2) Line Defects 1) Point Defects:- Point defects are irregularities or deviation from ideal arrangements around the point or atom in the crystalline substance. 2)Line defects:-line defects are irregularities or deviation from ideal arrangements in entire rows of lattice points. Point Defects: can be classified into three categories * Stoichiometric defect * Non-Stoichiometric defects * Impurity defects(Doping) Stoichiometric defect: - This defect arises because certain ions are missing from the crystal lattice and vacancies or holes are created at their respective positions. Since a crystal in electrically neutral, the number of such missing cations (A+) and anions (B-) must be the same. In Stoichiometric defect the cation and anion ratio will

remain same as represented in the molecular formula even after the defect. They are also known as Intrinsic or Thermodynamic defects.
* Types of Stoichiometric defect i) Vacancy Defects ii) Interstitial Defects iii) Schottky Defects iv) Frenkel Defect i) Vacancy Defects:-When some of the lattice sites are vacant, the crystal is said to have vacancy defects this results in decrease in density of the substance. This

defects is caused due to heating of substance. This substance ii) Interstitial Defects:- When some constituent particles occupy an interstitial sites. This defects causes increases the density of solids.this defects also shown by non-polar compounds. iii) Schottky Defect:-This is mainly a Vaccancy defects shown by ionic compounds Condition of favoring Schottky defect: Schottky defect is prevalent in lattice with With high co-ordination numbers In which cations and anions have almost identical size Alkali metal halides such as NaCl, KCl, CsCl, KBr etc. normally show this defect.

Diagram of Schottky Defect Consequence of Schottky defect: The presence of holes because of the missing ions lowers the density of the crystal. Due to the presence of the large number of holes, the stability of the crystal decreases and it also lowers its lattice energy. The defect increases the electrical conductivity of the crystalline solid. When electrical field is applied, under its influence ions from the nearby positions occupy these holes and their positions become vacant. The process continues and the crystal is in a position to conduct electric current. vi) Frenkel Defect:- Frenkel Defects is shown by ionic compounds. It results when certain ions leave their normal sites and occupy positions elsewhere in the crystal lattice. Holes are created at their respective positions. Since cations are smaller in size as compared to anions normally these are involved in Frenkel defect.

Diagram of Frenkel Defect Conditions Favoring Frenkel Defect: - Frenkel defect is prevalent in lattices with With low co-ordination numbers In which the anions are bigger in size as compared to the cations. The defect has been found to be present in silver halides such as AgCl, AgBr, AgI etc, because the size of Ag+ ion is quite small. It is rather easy for the ion to leave its position and occupy a new position in the crystal lattice. Consequence of Frenkel Defect: The electrical conductivity of the crystal is expected to increase because certain cations from the neighbouring positions will occupy these holes. The presence of large number of holes is bound to decrease the stability of the crystal. However, its density remains unchanged since the number of ions per unit volume car the same. The defect is expected to increase the dielectric constant of the crystalline solid Difference between Schottky and Frenkel Defects: SCHOTTKY DEFECT FRENKEL DEFECT 1.

Non-Stoichiometric Defect: - The defects in the nonStoichiometric crystalline solids are of two types. 1. Metal excess Defects:- This defect arises if the metal ions or positive ions are in excess. The defect can arise in two ways:

anions are missing from the lattice site and in order to maintain the electrical neutrality of the crystal, the electrons are actually trapped in these positions. This type of defect is Known as F-Center. Ex :-The semiconductors. Since the conductivity is due to the holes, these are known as p-type semiconductors. Impurity defects: - If we add certain elements like phosphorus (P) or arsenic (As) of group 15 to these covalent crystals, their atoms will also get linked with those of group 14 elements by covalent bonds but will have the extra electron which is not involved in the bonding( atoms have five valence electrons). These extra electron will lead to electrical conductivity resulting in n-type of semi-conductors as these are conducting due to the movement of electrons. The introduction of defects in a particular crystalline solid by the addition of impurities of other elements is known as doping. The doping in the covalent crystal of group 14 elements can also be caused by the addition of small amounts of the element aluminium (Al) or gallium (Ga) belonging to group 13. The atoms of such elements can share only three electrons with the atoms of group 14. Thus, the holes will be created in the lattice since there is no fourth electron available for sharing. The holes will lead to electrical conductivity and the crystals thus formed are also semiconductors. These are known as p-type of semi-conductors. Paramagnetic Substances : These are the substances weakly attracted by a magnet and this property is known as Para magnetism Elements have unpaired electrons. Their spins or magnetic moments may lead to magnetic character. However, the electron spins may mutually cancel due to random orientation under normal conditions and the substances may not have any magnetic character. Under the influence of an external magnetic field or magnet, the spins of certain electrons may allign to produce temporary magnetism they may be attracted by the magnet. However, they may lose their orientation and also magnetic character once the magnet is removed. Example Na, Li etc Diamagnetic Substance: These substances have all electrons paired Thus, no resultant magnetic moment They may be weakly repelled by the external magnetic field. For example zinc metal is diamagnetic as it does not have any unpaired electrons. Some other examples are of TiO2, NaCl, N2 etc. Ferromagnetic Substances:

yellow colour and the electrical conductivity of the non-stoichiometric ZnO is due to these trapped electrons.
By the presence of extra cations in the interstitial sites: The metal excess defect can also be created when there are extra positive ions occupying some of the interstitial sites and the electrons at some other sites to maintain the electrical neutral character of the crystal. Consequence of Metal Excess Defects: The crystals with metal excess defects are conducting due to presence of free electrons. However, the conductivity is very low since the defects are small in number. They act as semiconductor and known as ntype semiconductors since the current is carried by the movement of the electrons., The crystals with metal excess defects are paramagnetic in nature due to the presence of free electrons. Crystals with metal excess defects are generally coloured. Metal Deficiency Defects: By cation vacancies: In some of the crystals, certain cations are missing from the lattice sites and their positive charges are balanced by the presence of extra charges on the neighbouring or adjacent cations. 2. By the presence of extra anions at the interstitial sites: These defects arise when certain extra anions or negative ions are present at the lattice sites and their charges are balanced by the neighbouring cations which are in higher oxidation state than the normal cations.

Consequence of Metal Deficiency Defects: Crystals with metal deficiency defect also act as

Certain paramagnetic substance become permanently magnetized under the influence of the applied magnetic field even in the absence of the magnetic field. Example Fe, Cr etc Anti-Ferromagnetic Substances: Certain paramagnetic substances allign the magnetic moments due to the unpaired electrons under the influence of external magnetic field in such a way that the net magnetic moment is zero Ferrimagnetic substances: In certain paramagnetic substances, the magnetic moments of electron spins allign in parallel and anti-parallel direction in unequal numbers so that they have a net magnetic moment. nature i.e. they do not allow magnetic field to pass trough them. High temperature super conductivity (HTSC): a cuprate which is a mixed oxide consisting of Ba-La-Cu-O system and was super conducting at 35 K. Later on a few more cooperates were synthesised and were conducting even at higher temperatures. A few important our of these are listed. Ba0.7 K0.3 BiO 3 30 K La1.8 ST0.2 CuO4 40K YBa2Cu3O7 90 K Bi2Ca2Sr2Cu3O10 105 K Tl2Ca2Ba2Cu3O10 125 K The phenomenon of super conductivity has wide range of application in the field of electronics Super conducting cables have been used for transmitting electric current underground. Some electronic devices and speacilised instruments such as cryogenic gyro operate at liquid helium temperature i.e. approximately 4K. Super conductors also find applications in lazers and some computer circuits.

Piezoelectricity: Thoses crystal which produced electricity on mechanical stress. Such a crystal is known as piezoelectric crystal and this property is called piezoelectricity or pressure electricity. Pyroelectricity: Some polar crystals upon heating produce small electric current. This phenomenon is known as pyroelectricity. Actually certain atoms Ferroelectricity and the effect involved is called ferroelectric effect. The examples of some ferroelectric solids are: Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) Potassium tartarate or Rochelles salt (KOOCCH(OH)CH(OH)COOK) and barium titanate (BaTiO2). Anti Ferroelectricity: When the dipoles in alternate lattice point up and down, the two dipoles cancel one another so that there is not resultant dipole moment. Such crystals are known as antiferroelectric crystals and the phenomenon is called antiferroelectricity. For example, lead zirconate (PbZrO3) is an antiferroelectric solid. Low Temperature supper conductivity (LTSC) : He found that when the temperature of mercury was decreased to 4.15 K, the resistance felt closely to zero. This is called critical temperature (Tc). At very low temperature ranging from 0.1 K to 10 K, many metals, alloys and certain compound become super conducting. This means that they can conduct electricity with out losing energy or the current can flow for ever. It may be noted that super conductors are diamagnetic in
