Face-Centered Cubic

A cubic unit cell with atoms at the eight corners and at the six face centers, contributing four atoms per unit cell.

4
New cards

Coordination Number

The number of nearest atom neighbors surrounding a given atom in a crystal structure.

5
New cards

Molecular Solids

Solids composed of molecules held together by intermolecular forces, typically having lower melting points.

6
New cards

Network Covalent Solids

Solids where atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network, resulting in high melting points.

7
New cards

Ionic Solids

Solids formed by ionic bonds between positively and negatively charged ions, characterized by high melting points.

8
New cards

Metallic Solids

Solids composed of metal atoms held together by metallic bonds, allowing for conductivity and malleability.

9
New cards

Edge Length (a)

The length of the edges of a cubic unit cell, which is related to the radius of the atoms within the cell.
