CSS – 1 SOLID STATE C1 Solids, as is well known, are characterised by incompressibility, rigidity and mechanical strength. The indicates that the molecules, atoms or ions that make up a solid are closely packed, i.e, they are held together by strong forces and cannot move at random. Thus, in solids there is well-ordered arrangement of molecules, atoms or ions. The properties of solids not only depend upon the number and kind of constituents but also on their arrangements. C2A There are four different crystal types closely related to the nature of the forces which hold the structural units together. These are summarized in Table. C2B Type of crystal Structural units at the lattice sites Bonding force Example Ionic Ions Electrostatic CsCl, NaCl etc. Covalent Atoms Sharing of electron pairs (covalent) Diamond, Graphite, Abestos Metallic Metal ions Electrostatic attraction between metals ions and electrons surrounding the metal ions. Fe, Cu, Ag etc. Molecular Molecules Van der Waals, dipole dipole, hydrogen bonds. Ice, solid carbon dioxide (dry ice). Solids, basing on the interval structure are classified into (1) Amorphous solid (2) Crystalline solids. Amorphous solids or Pseudo Solids Crystalline solids (i) There is random arrangement of atoms molecules or ions There is a fixed arrangement of atoms, molecules or ions. (ii) They are of short range order They are of long range order (iii) They are isotropic i.e., same physical properties in all the directions They are anisotropic i.e., different physical properties in different directions. (iv) Do not possess sharp melting point Possess sharp melting point. (v) Also known as super cooled liquids These are true solids. (vi) Are not very rigid, these can be distorted by bending or by applying external forces Are rigid and there shape is not distorted by mild distorting forces. (vii) Examples of Amorphous solid are Starch, Protein, Glass, Plastics, Rubber etc. Almost all metals have fine granular shapes.

We come across two common interstitial sites tetrahedral and octrahedral sites in the closed packed lattices. 1. Tetrahedral void 2. Octahedral void Tetrahedral void : If one sphere is placed upon three other spheres which are touching one other tetrahedral structure results. Since the four sphere touch each other at one point only they leave us small space in between known as tetrahedral void. The size of the void is much smaller than that of the spheres. In ccp near every corner inside the unit cell there is one tetrahedral void. Total and effective tetrahedral voids = 8. Co-ordiantion number of tetrahedral void atom = 4. There would be two tetrahedral voids associated with each sphere in fcc. Octahedral void : This interstitial site or void is formed at the centre of six spheres, the centres of which lie at the apices of a regular octahedral. The figure shows two layers of closed-packed sphered. The full circles represent the spheres in one plane while the dotted circles represent those in second plane. Two triangles have been drawn. One of these joins the cetres of these spheres in one plane while the second (dotted lines) joins the centres of three spheres in the second plane. The octahedral sites, marked by x, are formed where two triangles of different layers are superimposed one above the other. In this position the apices of these triangles point in opposite direction, as shown. Thus, each octahedral site is created by two equilateral triangles with apices in opposite direction. Effective octahedral void in fcc = 4. Coordination number of octahedral void = 6. General relation for ccp and hcp packings Effective atom = effective octahedral voids.

(i) Stoichiometric defects : The constituents in a solid are present in the same ratio as predicted by their formula. These defects are also called intrinsic or thermodynamic defects. Types of stoichiometric defects : (a) Vacancy defect : when some of the lattice sites are vacant, the crystal is said to be vacancy defect. As a result the density of the solid decreases. This defect can also be develop upon heating. (b) Intestitial defect : When some constituent particles (atom or molecules) occupy an intenstial site, this defect is created. This defect increases the density of the solid. Both defects are shown by non-ionic compound. The ionic solids always exhibit electrical neutrialty and show schottky and frenkel defect. (c) Schottky defect : It is basically a vacancy defect in ionic solids. In order to maintain electrical neutrality the number of missing cations and anions are equal. In this the density decreases. Scottky defect is shown by those ionic compound in which the cation and anion are of almost similar sizes. e.g. NaCl, KCl, CsCl, AgBr. (d) Frenkel defect : If smaller ions dislocate from lattice site to interstitial site then the vacancy defect arise at lattice site and interstitial defect arises at new location. It does not change the density of the solid. This defect shown by ionic solids in which there is large difference in the size of ions. e.g., AgCl, AgBr, AgI, ZnS, ZnO etc. (AgBr shows both Frenkel and Schottky defect). (ii) Non-stoichiometric defects : are of two types (a) Metal excess defects (b) Metal deficiency defects. (a) Metal excess defects : arise in two ways (i) Due to anion vacancies : Alkali halides like NaCl, LiCl and KCl show this type of defect when crystal of NaCl are heated in an atmosphere of sodium vapour, the sodium atoms are deposited on the surface of the crystal. The Cl– ions diffuse to the surface of the crystal and combine with Na+ ion to give NaCl. The loss of electron by sodium atom occupy anonic vacant site to maintain the electrical neutrality called F-centre. F-centre impart the colour to the crystal. The colour results by excitation of these electrons when they absorb energy from the visible light falling on the crystals. NaCl impart yellow colour. Excess of lithium makes LiCl pink colour. Excess of potassium makes KCl Violet.

The excess of Zn2+ ions move to interstitial sites and to maintain the electrical neutrality electrons trap to neighbouring interstitial sites. ZnO Zn 2 ( white colour ) (b) 1 O 2 2e . 2 Metal deficiency defect : (i) By cation vacancies : This defect is generally shown by transition metals capable of showing variable oxidation states. In this defect some cations are missing from lattice sites and to maintain the electrical neutrality their positive charges are balanced by the presence of extra charges (i.e., higher oxidation state) on the neighbouring site. e.g., In FeO, Fe2+ ions missing from lattice site & neighbour lattice site occupied by Fe3+. (ii) By the presence of extra anions at the interstitial sites (iii) Impurity Defects : (a) Impurity defect in ionic solids : e.g., NaCl doped with SrCl2 to produce one cation vacancy as to maintain the electrical neutrality Sr2+ occupy one lattice site of Na+ vacancy and other Na+ lattice site is vacant. AgCl doped with CdCl2 produce one cation vacancy. (b) Impurity defects in covalent solids : (i) n-type (electron rich impurities) : Group-14 element (like Si and Ge) which have four valence electrons and doped with group-15 element like P or As which contain 5 valence electrons, they occupy some of the lattice sites in silicon crystal. Four out of five electrons are used in the formation of four covalent bonds with the four neighbouring silicon atoms. The fifth extra electron is extra and delocalised. The fifth extra electron increase the conductivity due to negatively charged electron. Silicon doped with electron rich impurity is called n-type (n = negative) semiconductor (ii) p-type (electron deficient impurities) : Si or Ge doped with a group-13 element like B, Al or Ga which contain only 3-valence electrons and hence the fourth valence electron is missing called electron hole or electron vacancy which appear as it positively charged and are moving towards negatively charged plate. This type of semiconductor is called p-type. Practice Problems : 1. 2. In a solid lattice the cation has left a lattice site and is located at an interstitial position.
