AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the crystal structure based on the ratio of cation radius (rc) to anion radius (ra). When rc/ra equals 1, the structure is typically hexagonal close-packed. For rc/ra less than 0.23, the crystal structure may vary, but specific examples are not provided. If rc/ra exceeds 1, the structure can also change, indicating a different coordination environment. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding coordination in crystal structures beyond just the lattice type.

What would be the structure of the crystal if rc/ra=1? hexagonal closed packed or anything else?

What would be the structure of the crystal if rc/ra< .23 ?

What would be the structure of the crystal if rc/ra>1 ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
PS: rc=radius of cation
ra=radius of anion

And I am not talking about crystal lattice... That is cubic here I think...
I am talking about co ordination of the crystal molecules,atoms,ions...
 
no one seems interested?

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
