Coordination number
The number of atoms or ions surrounding an atom or ions in a crystal lattice.
The value is a measurement of how tightly the spheres are packed together.
The larger the value, the closers the spheres are to each other.
CUBIC LATICE SYSTEM (SIMPLE CUBIC)
Also known as the primitive cubic unit cell.
Consist of 8 lattice which are placed at each corner of the cube.

METALLIC CRYSTAL STRUCTURE
Simplest crystal structure.
Tend to be densely packed.
Every lattice point in a crystal is occupied by an metal.
Bonding- bonding electron are delocalized over the entire crystal.
The great cohesive force resulting from delocalization is responsible for metal strength.
The mobility makes the metal good conductor of heat and electricity.

IONIC CRSYTAL
The binding between the ions is mostly electrostatic and rather strong.
it has no directionality.
There are no free electrons, ionic crystals are insulators.

IONIC CRSYTAL (NaCl) PHYSICAL PROPERTIES 1) High melting point.
Strong electrostatic forces between ions of opposite charge.
Requires more energy to overcome the attraction.
2) Hard but brittle.
Strong electrostatic force make it hard but, if a strong force is applied, the ion layers shifts slightly.
Ions of the same charge are brought side-by-side and so the crystal repels itself.
IONIC CRSYTAL (NaCl) PHYSICAL PROPERTIES 3)

so no free moving electron to conduct electricity.
Diamond does not conduct electricity.
Very strong covalent bond.
So have high melting point 3550°C.
Very hard.
Used in cutting tools & grinding.
GIANT MOLECULE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE (GRAPHITE)
Each C is connected with 3 other C by covalent bond forming 6-member rings that form flat layer which are held loosely by weak VDW forces.
C use only 3 of its 4 valence electron, so it has one unused electron .
The electron are able to move freely thus conduct electricity.
Graphite is an electric conductor.

have to break the covalent bonding throughout the whole structure.
6-member rings form flat layer which are held loosely by weak VDW forces.
The layers are able to slide past each other, resulting in softness of graphite.
Used as lead in pencil & lubricant.
to melt graphite, it isn't enough to loosen one sheet

CRYSTAL DEFECT (VACANCY )
An atom is missing from its regular atomic site.
When some lattice sites left vacant while the formation of crystal.
Because of missing the atom, the density of substance decreases.
The vacancy defect develops on heating of substance.
When the temperature is sufficiently high, the atoms vibrate around their regular positions, some acquire enough energy to leave the site completely.
CRYSTAL DEFECT (SCHOTTKY) A pair of one cation and one anion missing from regular sites in crystal. ionic
Almost similar in size, such as NaCl, KCl, CsCl the number of missing cations is equal to the number of missing anions in order to maintain the electrical neutrality of the ionic compound.
CRYSTAL DEFECT (INTERSTITIAL)
when an atom occupies a definite position in the lattice that is not normally occupied in the perfect crystal.
some atoms occupy sites at which; generally there is no atom in the crystal structure.
Because of the interstitial defects, the number of atoms becomes larger than the number of lattice sites.
Increase in number of atoms increases the density of substance
CRYSTAL DEFECT (FRENKEL)
an ion displaced from a regular site to an interstitial site in ionic crystal.
As cations are generally the smaller ones, it is possible for them to
get displaced into the void space.
Anions do not get displaced as the void space is too small compared to the size of the anions.
As there are a number of cations and anions (which remain equal even because of defect); the density of the substance & the overall electrical neutrality of the crystal does not change.
such as ZnS, AgCl, AgBr, AgI
CRYSTAL DEFECT (METAL EXCESS DEFECT) (a)
Metal excess defects due to anionic vacancies: missing of anions from regular site leaving a hole which is occupied by electron to maintain the neutrality of the compound.
The trapped electrons are called F-centers or color centers they are responsible for imparting color to the because crystal.
This defect is common in NaCl, KCl, LiCl,.
CRYSTAL DEFECT (METAL EXCESS DEFECT) (b) Metal excess defect due to presence of extra cations at interstitial sites
Extra cations occupying interstitial sites while electrons occupy another interstitial site to maintain electrical neutrality
Similar to Frenkel defect.
CRYSTAL DEFECT (METAL DEFICIENCY DEFECT) Solids which have less metals compare to ideal stoichiometric proportion.
CRYSTAL DEFECT (METAL DEFICIENCY DEFECT) Arise due to cationic vacancies. It occurs when positive ions are missing from its crystal lattice.
To maintain electrical neutrality, one of the nearest metal ion acquires two positive charge. This type of defect occurs in compounds where the same metal
canexhibit variable valency.
Transition metal compounds like NiO, FeO, FeS.
SEMICONDUCTOR
Has intermediate conductivity between a conductor & insulator.
Can resist & allow flow of electron depending on the energy applied.
Commonly used in electronics as transistor or diodes.
Silicon is the most commonly used semiconductor material
SEMICONDUCTOR
Element that normally are not conductor but will conduct electricity at elevated temperatures or when combined with a small amount of certain other element.
The electrons are held in place so they cannot move or change their energy. Electrons in a bond are not considered "free" and cannot participate in current flow, absorption or other physical processes of interest.
SEMICONDUCTOR
At elevated temperatures, the electron can gain enough energy to escape from its bond, the electron is free to move about the crystal lattice and participate in conduction.
At room temperature, a semiconductor has enough free electrons to allow it to conduct current, while at, or close to absolute temperatures, a semiconductor behaves like an insulator.
Doping is a process wherein impurities are added to the semiconductor to improve conductivity.
SEMICONDUCTOR (N-TYPE)
The addition of pentavalent impurities (atoms with 5 Ve-) such as antimony, arsenic or phosphorous contributes free electrons.
This electron can move through the structure & function as a charge carrier.

SEMICONDUCTOR (N-TYPE)
Known as Donor Impurities.
N-negative (charge of the extra electron)
SEMICONDUCTOR (P-TYPE)
The addition of trivalent impurities (atoms with 3 Ve-) such as boron, aluminum or gallium creates deficiencies of valence electrons, called "holes".
so the charge carrier is effectively a positively charged hole.
Known as acceptor impurities. P-positive (holes)

Malleable & ductile Metallic The layers of cations can easily slide past each luster other without breaking the lattice structure.
ELECTRON SEA MODEL
Atoms in metallic element are packed closely as possible.
As a result Ve- of each atom become attracted to the positively charged nuclei of the neighbor and become free from the attraction of its own nucleus.
These free electron are said to be delocalized over the entire solid embedded in a sea of electron.
The electron-sea is acting as glue holding the positive

BAND THEORY OF METALS
VALENCE BAND: Band of orbitals that are filled or partially filled by valance electron.
- lower MOs are occupied by valence e

Current flows when electrons move from the valence band to the conduction band. For a filled band to conduct, e- must be promoted from the highest occupied MO to the lowest unoccupied MO. The amount of energy required to promote these will determine how well the substance conducts.
BAND THEORY OF METALS
In metal, the valence band & conducting band are adjacent to each other.
Means, electron can travel freely through the metal (from the valence band to the conduction band).
