2D Packing Examples
Answer the following questions for both
packing diagrams.
hole
1. Find the smallest unit that, if repeated,
would give you the entire structure. This
is the unit cell. Draw a box on the
diagram representing the unit cell.
2. How many total atoms are inside the unit
cell? Remember that only fractions of
some atoms lie inside the box you drew.
hole
3. Accurately draw boxes exactly 3 atoms
wide. How many total atoms are in each?
Which displays the greater packing
density?

Now to some real structures. How do we know the arrangement of ions and
atoms?
X-Ray Crystallography:
• Na – bcc – what’s up with it’s 3s1 electron
• NaCl
• Bragg’s Law and diffraction
• Xray diffraction (Laue transmission) from simple cubic, bcc and fcc lattices

Determining the empirical formula from unit cell data:
A salt must be electrically neutral. If you know the charge on the cations and
anions, you can determine MxNy.
Alternatively, you can use crystal data to determine the structure of the unit cell
and hence the empirical formula. Determine the number of each different ion in
the following unit cells. Does it correspond to the formula from charge balance?
1. Copper (I) chloride
Cl
Cu
4. Based on Clalone, what type of
unit cell is this?
What type of “hole”
is occupied by Cu+?
2. Barium Chloride
5. Based on just Clalone, what type of
unit cell is NaCl?
What type of “hole”
is occupied by Na+?
3. Rhenium oxide
Calculation of the atomic radius of a polonium atom, which forms a simple cubic
cell, from macroscopic parameters. How many P atoms are in the unit cell?
Given Polonium Data
• density 9.23 g/cm3 macroscopic meas.
• molar mass: 208.98 g
• Avogadro’s #: 6.022 x 1023 atoms/mol
