SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the theoretical density of Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) using the formula for crystalline solids. The correct theoretical density is established as 4.644 g/cm³, while the initial calculation yielded 3.85 g/cm³ due to an incorrect count of LiNbO3 units in the unit cell. Participants emphasized the importance of accounting for the different atomic weights of the three types of atoms present in the compound.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of crystalline solid density calculations
