the formation of covalent bond requires overlapping of partially occupied short-range repulsive potential due to the distortion of the electron clouds 

so answer will be covalent

In Diamond, there is 8 lattice points per unit cell.  The maximum radius that a hard sphere can have is , r and a are in their usual meaning, Hence the packing fraction is:

in my the previous query , i want to ask the second nearest, third nearest, 4th nearest neighbour atoms/ cordination no. of NaCl, CsCl, ZnS, CaF2, Li2o.

second, third and fourth coordination number means to count the no. of atoms of either Cl or Na, having second, third and fourth closest distance

for NaCl         first coordination number =    6   (6 faces)            distance (a/2)

                 second coordination number =  12   (12 edges)        distance (a/√2)

                       third coordination number =    8   (8 corners)        distance (a√3/2)

                    fourth coordination number =    6    ( 6 centre)          distance (a)

similarly try for others

an element crystallises in fcc lattice having 400pm. calculate the maxm diameter which can be placed in a interstitial sites without disturbing the str

1) 400pm

2) 117.1 pm

3) 224.2 pm

4) 336.2 pm

according to the given conditions

along the face of a side 4x = 400√2             or  x = 100√2                 here x is radius of the atom forming lattice

and along an edge 2x+2y = 400                      here y is interstitial radius

so y = 200-x = 200-100√2  = 100 (2-1.414) = 100(0.586) = 58.6 pm

so diameter = 117.2

use the formula d = Mn/N0a3

calculate a?                here n = 1

now 2r - + 2r = a √3

and 2r = a

divide these equations for getting ratio

B atom forms ccp, let No. of atoms of B = 1

no. of tetrahedral voids = 2

but formula given is A2/3B

so % of voids occupied = (2/3)*100/2 = 33.34 %  

if all the ions of NaCl str is removed from one of the diagonal plane , then the formula of compd. will be ---- ?

Solution by Joshi sir

Normal formula of compound is Na4Cl4

now on removing all the atoms from 1 body diagonal, 

lost atoms = 4 Cl at corner, 2 Na from edge centre, 2 Cl from face centre, 1 Na from body centre

so loss in Cl = 4*1/8 + 2*1/2 = 1.5

and loss iin Na = 2*1/4 + 1*1 = 1.5

so new formula = Na2.5Cl2.5

so formula will remail same 

In FCC unit cell distance b/w centre of two spheres which are touching each other & distance b/w centre of two nearest non touching sphere is

1)  (2a)1/2,, 2a

2)2r, (a+r)

3)  a/(21/2), a

4) both (2) & (3)

a= edge length. r= radius of atom

Joshi sir comment

along diagonal of a face 4r = a√2   or  r = a√2/4 so distance b/w centre of two touching spheres is 2r = a√2/2

similarly distance b/w two nearst non touching sphere = a (along edge)

so 3) will be the option
