Packing of more than one type of sphere into unit cells:
- Packing of ions in salts- Which is usually larger, negative (anions) or positive
(cations) ions?
- Construct binary salts in lattice with anions usually occupying positions in unit cell and cations in holes in cell
NaCl

Tetrahedral Holes• How many tetrahedral holes are there in the
fcc unit cell?• Are there any Na+ ions occupying the holes?

Octahedral Holes• How many octahedral holes are there in one
fcc unit cell?• In what type of holes are Na+ ions in edges
throughout the whole lattice?
• What type of unit cell is defined by the Cl- ions?
Example: Nickel Arsenide (this Jmol link shows lattice based on Ni as in workbook pg 49, #4)

Hexagonal Closest Packing
• In what type of hole is Ni found in the structure above
• How many As are in the unit cell to the right? How many Ni?
• What is the formula for nickel arsenide?
• Locate a tetrahedral hole? Are there any Ni ions there?

Determining the empirical formula from unit cell data:
A salt must be electrically neutral. If you know the charge on the cations and anions, you can determine MxNy.
Alternatively, you can use crystal data to determine the structure of the unit cell and hence the empirical formula. Determine the number of each different ion in the following unit cells. Does it correspond to the formula from charge balance?
1. Copper (I) chloride
2. Barium Chloride
3. Rhenium oxide
4. Based on Cl- alone, what type of unit cell is this? What type of “hole” is occupied by Cu+?
Cu
Cl
