Body-Centered Cubic
A cubic unit cell with atoms at the eight corners and one atom in the center, contributing two atoms per unit cell.
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.
Coordination Number
The number of nearest atom neighbors surrounding a given atom in a crystal structure.
Molecular Solids
Solids composed of molecules held together by intermolecular forces, typically having lower melting points.
Network Covalent Solids
Solids where atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network, resulting in high melting points.
Ionic Solids
Solids formed by ionic bonds between positively and negatively charged ions, characterized by high melting points.
Metallic Solids
Solids composed of metal atoms held together by metallic bonds, allowing for conductivity and malleability.
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.
