Formulae For SOLID STATE


By Mir Mohammed Abbas II PCMB 'A'

BASIC FORMULAS FOR SOLIDS

Important Terms, Definitions & Formulae

XII Chemistry

CHAPTER 1 - THE SOLID STATE

1. Number of atoms in different unit cells:


a. Primitive unit cell: 1 atom
b. Face centred unit cell: 4 atoms
c. Body centred unit cell: 2 atoms

2. Let the number of close packed spheres = N


Number of octahedral voids generated = N
Number of tetrahedral voids generated = 2N

3. Packing efficiency is the percentage of total space occupied by


constituent particles (atoms, molecules or ions).

Volume occupied by spheres in t he unit cell


Packing efficiency = x100%
Total volume of unit cell

a. Packing efficiency for face centred cubic unit cell = 74%


b. Packing efficiency for body centred cubic unit cell = 68%
c. Packing efficiency for simple cubic unit cell = 52.4%

4. Relationship between radius of constituent particle (r) and edge


length(a):
a. Simple cubic unit cell: a= 2r
b. Face centred unit cell: a = 2 2 r
4r
c. Body centred unit cell: a =
3

5. Volume of a unit cell = (edge length)3 = a3


a. Simple cubic unit cell: Volume= (2r)3
3
b. Face centred unit cell: Volume = (2 2 r)
43r
c. Body centred unit cell: Volume = ( )
3
6. Number of atoms in a unit cell (z):
7. Density of unit cell:
a. Simple cubic unit cell: z = 1
b. Face centred unit cell: z = 4 zM
Density of unit cell= 3
a .NA
c. Body centred unit cell: z = 2
