    Assignment 1
    (Individual)
    Answer ALL Questions
    Question 1
    Explain the difference between crystal structure and atomic structure. Why is studying crystal
    structure important?

    ANS:

    The definition of crystal structure is the arrangement of atoms or molecules in a crystal and
    the definition of atomic structure is the arrangement of subatomic particles in an atom.
    Atomic structure is a complex structure but crystal structure is a well-organized lattice
    structure. In atomic structure atoms are composed of subatomic particles which is
    electrons, protons and neutrons. In crystal structure, crystals are composed of cations and
    anions or metal ions and free electrons. The overall atomic structure is the same in all atoms.
    The crystal structures are different from each other depending on the components present in
    the crystal. The main different between atomic structure and crystal structure is that atomic
    structure describes the arrangement of subatomic particles in an atom whereas crystal
    structure describes the arrangement of atoms or molecules in a crystalline compound.

    Question 2
    Rhodium has an atomic radius of 0.1345 nm and a density of 12.41 g/cm 3. Using this
    information, determine whether it has an FCC or BCC crystal structure. The density equation is
    given as below:

    ANS:
    Question 3
    Describe FOUR (4) features for substitutional solid solution according to Hume-Rothary rules

    ANS:

    There are some features for substitutional solid solution according to Hume-Rothary rules.
    First feature is crystal structure factor. For complete solubility of two elements, they should
    have the same type of crystal lattice. For example, Au-Ag solution, both should have FCC
    structure. The second feature is relative size factor. The atoms of the solute and solvent
    should have the same atomic size approximately. This factor is satisfied if the difference of
    atomic radii of two elements is less than 15%. The third feature is Chemical-Affinity factor.
    For a substitutional solid solution to be formed, two metals should have less chemical
    affinity. Greater is the chemical affinity, lesser is the chance of forming a solid solution. If
    two elements are farther apart in a periodic table, chemical affinity is more. The last feature is
    relative valence factor. Among two metals, which have satisfied all the above rules, the metal
    with lower valency tends to dissolve more of a metal of higher valency and vice-versa.
