Hi,

these are a couple of questions from a lab at uni, i wasn't entirely sure where to begin so if anybody has any idea help would be much appreciated

(i)A large model of the diamond structure can be described as two interpenetrating FCC lattices (i haven't found any diagrams that display this simply and point out the lattices...). What is the displacement of one from the other?

(ii)describe the lattice type and the basis of the diamond structure.

I'm assuming that (ii) is easily answerable with the result from (i) but i don't know how to pick out the fcc structures, and hence don't know what their displacement from each other is.

thanks

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
