INTRODUCTION
ases and liquids belong to fluid state. The fluidity of liquids and
gases is due to relative free motion of their molecules. In solids,
molecules or atoms or ions oscillate around their fixed positions
due to strong intermolecular or interatomic or interionic forces. This brings
rigidity and long range order in solids. Solids are classified as crystalline
and amorphous. In crystalline solids atoms, ions or molecules are held in
an orderly array. In amorphous solid there is only short range order.
Industrial applications of solids in based on their electrical, magnetic and
dielectric properties.
A substance is said to be solid if its melting point is above the room temperature. Some of the important
characteristics of solids are as follows :
(i) Solids have definite shapes, size and volume
(ii) Solids are almost incompressible and generally have high density
(iii) The diffusion of solid is negligible or rather very slow as the particles have permanent positions from
which they do not move easily.
CLASSIFICATION OF SOLIDS
Solids can be classified broadly into two types.
1. Crystalline Solids
2. Amorphous Solids
Difference Between Crystalline and Amorphous Solids
Crystalline Solids
Amorphous Solids
1.
They have definite and regular geometry due to definite and They do not have any pattern of arrangement
orderly arrangement of atoms, ions or molecules in three
of atoms, ions or molecules and thus, do not
dimensional space
have any definite geometrical shape.
2.
They have sharp melting points and change abruptly into liquids
3.
Crystalline solids are anisotropic. Some of their physical Amorphous solids are isotropic. Their physical
properties are same in all directions.
properties are different in different directions
4. These are considered as true solids.
Amorphous solids do not have sharp melting

points and do not change abruptly into liquids.
The se a re c o nsid e re d p se ud o so lid s o r

supercooled liquids.
Crystalline solids are rigid and their shape is not distorted by

mild distoring forces.
Amorphous solids are not very rigid. These can

be distorted by bending or compressing forces.
Crystals are bound by plane faces. The angle between any two
faces is called interfacial angle. For a given crystalline solid, it is
6. definite angle and remains always constant no matter how the
faces develop. When a crystalline solid is hammered, it breaks
up into smaller crystals of the same geometrical shape.
Amorphous solids do not have well defined

planes.
When an amorphous solid is broken, the
surfaces of the broken pieces are generally not
flat and intersect at random angles.

7.
Crystals have some sort of symmetry. (i) plane of symmetry,

(ii) axis of symmetry or (iii) centre of symmetry
Amorphous solids do not have any symmetry.

TYPES OF SYMMETRY IN CRYSTALS

(i)
Centre of Symmetry : It is such an imaginary point within the crystal that any line drawn through
it intersects the surface of the crystal at equal distances in both directions. A crystal always possesses
only one centre of symmetry.
(ii) Plane of symmetry : It is an imaginary plane which passes through the centre of a crystal and
divides it into two equal parts such that one part is exactly the mirror image of the other.
A cubical crystal like NaCl possesses, in all, nine planes of symmetry; three rectangular planes
of symmetry and six diagonal planes of symmetry. One plane of symmetry of each of the above
is shown in fig.(a) and (b).
(iii) Axis of symmetry : It is an imaginary straight line about which, if the crystal is rotated, it will
present the same appearance more than once during the complete revolution. The axes of
symmetry are called diad, triad, tetrad and hexad, respectively, if the original appearance is
repeated twice (after an angle of 180), thrice (after an angle of 120), four times (after an
angle of 90) and six times (after an angle of 60) in one rotation. These axes of symmetry are
also called two-fold, three-fold, four fold and six-fold, respectively.
In general if the same appearance of a crystal is repeated on rotating through an angle of
360
,
n
around an imaginary axis, the axis is called an n-fold axis.

In all, these are 13 axes of symmetry possessed by a cubical crystal like NaCl as shown in fig.(c),
(d) and (e).
3
NARAYANA
(iv) Elements of symmetry: The total number of planes, axes and centre of symmetry possessed by a
crystal are termed as elements of symmetry. A cubic crystal possesse a total of 23 elements of
symmetry.
Planes of symmetry = (3 + 6) = 9 Fig (a) and (b)
Axes of symmetry
= (3 + 4 + 6) = 13 Fig (c), (d) and (e)
Centre of symmetry = 1 Fig. (f)
The total number of symmetry elements = 23
CRYSTAL LATTICE
The regular three dimensional arrangement of the points in a crystal is called space lattice. The space
lattice is also called crystal lattice. The locations of the points in the space lattice are called lattice points
or lattice sites.
UNIT CELL
The smallest but complete unit in the space lattice which when repeated over and over again in the three
dimensions, generates the crystal of the given substance.
TYPES OF UNIT CELLS

Unit cells are basically of two types. These are primitive and non primitive.
Primitive unit cells : A unit cell is called primitive unit cell if it has particles (or points) only at the
corners. It is also called simple unit cell.
Non-primitive unit cells : In this type of unit cells, particles (or points) are present not only at the
corners but also at some other positions. These are of three types :
(i) Face centred : Particles (or points) are located at the corners and also in the centre of each face.
(ii) Body centred : Particles (or points) are located at the corners and also at the centre within the
body.
(iii) End centred : Particles (or points) are located at the corners and also at the centres of the end
faces.

SEVEN CRYSTAL SYSTEMS

It we take into consideration the symmetry of the axial distances (a, b, c) and also the axial angles
between the edges (, , ) , the various crystals can be divided into seven systems. These are also
called crystal habits. These crystals alongwith suitable examples are listed in the table

BRAVAIS LATTICES
The seven crystal systems listed above can be further classified on the basis of the unit cells present.
Although each crystal system is expected to have four different unit cells, but actually all of them cannot
exist in each case. Bravais in 1848 has established fourteen different types of lattices called Bravais
lattices according to the arrangement of the points in the different unit cells involved listed below:

In various unit cells, there are three kinds of lattice points : points located at the corners, points in the face
centres and points that lie entirely within the unit cell. In a crystal, atoms located at the corner and facecentre of a unit cell are shared by other cells and only a portion of such an atom actually lies within a
given unit cell.
5
NARAYANA
(i)
A point that lies at the corner of a unit cell is shared among eight unit cells and, therefore, only oneeighth of each such point lies within the given unit cell.
(ii) A point along an edge is shared by four unit cells and only one-fourth of it lies within any one cell.
(iii) A face-centred point is shared by two unit cells and only one half of it is present in a given unit cell.
(iv) A body-centred point lies entirely within the unit cell and contributes one complete point to the cell.

An element occurs in bcc structure with a cell edge of 288 pm. The density of element is 7.2 g cm3. How
many atoms does 208 g of the element contain?

NARAYANA
SOLUTION :
Volume of the unit cell = (288 1010)3 = 23.9 1024 cm3
Volume of 208 g of the element =
Number of unit cell in 28.88 cm3 =
208
= 28.88 cm3

28.88
= 12.08 1023 unit cells

So, total no. of atoms in 12.08 1023 unit cells = 2 12.08 1023 [since each bcc unit cell contain 2
atoms]
= 24.16 1023
EXAMPLES : 3
The density of potassium bromide crystal is 2.75 g cm3 and the length of an edge of a unit cell is 654 pm.
The unit cell of KBr is one of three types of cubic unit cells. How many formula units of KBr are there

EXAMPLES : 4
A cubic solid is made up of two atoms A and B. Atoms A are present at the corners and B at the centre
of the body. What is the formula of the unit cell?
SOLUTION :
Contribution by the atoms A present at eight corners = 1/8 8 = 1
Contribution by the atom B present in the centre of the body = 1
Thus, the ratio of atoms of A : B = 1 : 1
Formula of unit cell = AB
EXAMPLES : 5
If three elements P, Q and R crystallise in a cubic unit cell with P atoms at the corners. Q atoms at the
cubic centre and R atoms at the centre of each face of the cube, then write the formula of the compound.
SOLUTION :
Contribution made by the atoms of P present at all the eight corners of the tube = 1/8 8 = 1
Contribution made by the atoms of Q present in the centre of the body = 1
Contribution made by the atoms of R present at the centre of all the six faces = 1/2 6 = 3
Formula of the compound = PQR3

RELATION BETWEEN EDGE LENGTH (A) AND THE RADIUS OF SPHERE (R)
We have calculated the number of atoms (or spheres since an atom or particle may be regarded as the
sphere) in different types of cube unit cells. Now, let us calculate the relation between the edge length (a)
and the radius (r) of the spheres present in these unit cells in case of pure elements i.e. elements composed
of the same type of atoms.
(a) Distance between the centres of the spheres present on the corners of the edges of the cubic is
called edge length (a).
(b) Distance between the centres of the two nearest spheres is called nearest neighbour distance (d)
and is equal to r + r = 2r. (Here r is the radius of the spheres or the atomic radius)
FOR SIMPLE CUBIC LATTICE

In a simple cubic unit cell, there is one atom (or one sphere) per unit cell. If r is the radius of the sphere,
volume occupied by one sphere present in the unit cell =
r 3
Since the spheres at the corners touch each other;

Edge length (a) = r + r = 2r = d

SCHOTTKY DEFECT
It consists of a pair of holes in the crystal lattice i.e one positive and one negative ion are absent from
their proper position. This sort of defect occurs mainly in highly ionic compounds where the +ve and -ve
ions are of similar size and hence co-ordination no. is high e.g.
NaCl, CsCl, KCl, KBr etc.

FRANKEL DEFECT
It consists of a vacant lattice site (a hole) and the ion
which ideally should have occupied the site now
occupies an interstitial position.

In this type of defect metal ions are generaly smaller

than the anion i.e. large difference in size and coordination number is low. e.g. AgCl, AgBr, AgI.

METAL EXCESS DEFECT

F-centres : This arises due to absence of anion from its Lattice
site, leaving a hole which is occupied by an electron thereby
maintaining the electrical balance. When compound such as
NaCl, KCl LiH or TiO are heated with excess of their
constituent metal vapours or treated with high energy radiation,
they become deficient in negative ion and their formula may be

NARAYANA
Interstitial ions and electrons : Metal excess defect also occur when an extra +ve ion occupies on
interstitial position in the lattice, the electrical neutrality is maintained by the inclusion of an interstitial
electron. The composition may be represented by general formula A1+ X . The example include ZnO,
CdO, Fe2O3 and Cr2O3.
METAL DEFICIENCY DEFECT

This type of compound is represented by the formula A1 X . This deficiency can occur in two ways :
(i) Positive ion absent : If a positive ion is absent from its lattice site, the charges can be balanced by
an adjacent metal ion having an extra +ve charge. e.g. FeO, NiO, -TiO, FeS and CuI.

(ii) Extra interstitial negative ion : It is possible to have an extra negative ion in an interstitial
position and to balance the charges by means of an extra charge on an adjacent metal ion.
RADIUS RATIO
The ratio of the radius of cation to that of anion in an ionic crystalline solid, is called radius ratio.
Radius of cation (r + )
Radius ratio =
Radius of anion (r )
The relation between the radius ratio (r+ / r) and co-ordination number is quite often known as Radius
ratio rule. This helps in predicting the structures of ionic crystals. The same has been depicted in the
table.

Larger the cation more will be its co-ordination number due to increase of its radius ratio.
As the radius ratio increases more and more beyond 0.732, anion more farther and farther apart and
cubic void are generated.

EXAMPLES : 10
In the crystal of an ionic compound, the anions B2 form a closed packed lattice and cations A+ occupy all
the tetrahedral voids. What is the simplest formula of the compound ?
SOLUTION :
We know that in a close packed lattice involving anions B2 having tetrahedral voids, there are two
tetrahedral sites for each anion and both are occupied by the cations A+.
Thus, for one anion (B2), there are two cations (A+)
Formula of the compound = A2B.
EXAMPLES : 11
A solid AB has the NaCl structure. If radius of the cation A+ is 120 pm. Calculate the maximum value
of the radius of the anion B.

STRUCTURE OF SIMPLE IONIC COMPOUNDS

Anions (large in size) form a close packed arrangement but cations (smaller in size) occupy the interstitial
sites resulting from the close packing of the anions e.g. NaCl, ZnS, CsCl etc.
In CaF2, Ca2+ ions from the close packed arrangement while the F ions fit in the interstitial sites.
In a close packed arrangement, the number of octahedral sites is half the number of tetrahedral sites.
For the radius ratio more than a minimum value or limiting value, close packed arrangement may open
slightly to accommodate the anions that are of bigger size.
Greater the co-ordination number (CN) more is the stability of ionic crystal due to greater forces of
attraction.
The different ionic compounds can have the following type of structures.
(i)
Ionic compounds of AB type
(ii) Ionic compounds of AB2 type

(iii) Ionic compounds of A2B type
STRUCTURES OF IONIC COMPOUNDS OF AB TYPE

Ionic compounds of the type AB suggest that in their crystal lattice A+ and B ions are present in the ratio of
1 : 1. These compounds have following three types of structures.
Rock salt (NaCl) type structures.
Cesium chloride (CsCl) type structure.
Zinc blende (ZnS) type structure.

NaCl is composed of Na+ ion and Cl ions.

The ionic radius of Na+ and Cl ion are 95 pm and 181 pm respectively. Thus radius ratio is
rNa +
rCl
95
= 0.525
181
The structure is octahedral in which Cl ion constitute a cubic closed packed and Na+ ions occupy
the octahedral voids.
The coordination number is 6 : 6 ie. each Na+ ion is surrounded by six Cl ions and vice versa.
A unit cell of NaCl consists of four NaCl units.
Other examples having similar structure are
(i) Halide of Li, Na, K, Cs.
(ii) Halide of Ammonium.
(iii) Oxides and sulphides of Mg, Ca, Sr & Ba.
(iv) Halides of Ag (Except AgI)
(v) CaCO3 and CaC2
CESIUM CHLORIDE (CsCl) TYPE STRUCTURES

Characteristics :
(i) The crystal is composed of Cs+ and Cl ions and their ionic radii are 160 pm and 181 pm respectively.
The radius ratio for the crystal is :
r Cs + 160 pm
=
= 0.889
r Cl 181pm
The radius ratio suggests a body centred cubic structure. However, it is more than the ideal ratio which is
0.732.
(ii) The Cl ions are present at the eight corners of the unit cell while one Cs+ ion is present in the centre
of the body as shown in the fig.(a)
14
NARAYANA
(iii) Each Cs+ ion is surrounded by 8 Cl ions and each Cl ion by 8 Cs+ ions. Thus, the coordination
number of each ion is 8 or these are in 8 : 8 co-ordination.
(iv) The contribution by all the 8 Cl ions at the corners is 1 while by the Cs+ ion present in the centre of
body is also 1. Therefore, the unit cell of CsCl consist of one Cs+ ion and one Cl ion and the formula
of cesium chloride is CsCl.

ZINC BLENDE (ZnS) TYPE STRUCTURE
Fig. Structure of Zinc Blende (ZnS)
Characteristics :
(i) The sulphide ions (S2) with radius = 184 pm adopt cubic close packed arrangement (ccp) i.e. S2
ions are present at all the corners as well as at the centre of each face.
(ii) The radii of Zn2+ and S2 ions are 74 pm and 184 pm respectively. Therefore, the radius ratio is :
rZn 2+
rS2
74 pm
= 0.402
184 pm
(iii) Each Zn2+ ion present occupies a tetrahedral site. As there are two tetrahedral sites per atom in a
close packed arrangement one half of these sites are occupied by Zn2+ ions whereas the remaining
half are vacant. Thus Zn2+ ions are present at the alternative sites as shown in fig.
(iv) Each Zn2+ ion is surrounding by four S2 ions which are directed towards the four corners of a
tetrahedron. Similarly each S2 ion is also surrounding by four Zn2+ ions. Thus, coordination number
of both these ions is 4 and these are also present in the ratio of 4 : 4.
(v) Other examples of this type are : Chloride, bromides and iodides of copper, silver iodide, beryllium sulphide
etc.
STRUCTURES OF IONIC COMPOUNDS OF AB2 TYPE

These are the crystalline ionic solids in which cations and anions are in the ratio 1 : 2. Most of these
compounds have calcium fluoride (CaF2) type structure which is also knows as fluorite structure.

Fig. Structure of Calcium Fluoride (Fluorite Structure)
Characteristics
(i) The number of F ions is twice the number of Ca2+ ions i.e. Ca2+ and F ions are in the ratio 1 : 2.
The radii of Ca2+ and F ions are 99 pm and 136 pm respectively. Therefore, radius ratio is :
rCa 2+
rF
(99 pm)
= 0.73
(136 pm)
(ii) The radius ratio suggests a body centred cubic structure in which the Ca2+ ions are present at the
corners and at the centre of each face of the cube.
(iii) The radius ratio suggests that each Zn2+ ion present occupies a tetrahedral site. As there are two
tetrahedral sites per atom in a close packed arrangement, one half of these sites are occupied by
Zn2+ ions whereas the remaining half are vacant. Thus, Zn2+ ions are present at the alternative sites.
(iv) Each Zn2+ ion is surrounded by four S2 ions which are directed towards the four corners of a
tetrahedron. Similarly each S2 ion is also surrounded by four Zn2+ ions. Thus, coordination number
of both these ions is 4 and these are also present in the ratio of 4 : 4.
The other example of this type of Lattice are: BaF2, BaCl2, SrF2, SrCl2, CdCl2, PbF2 etc.

i.e. the smaller cations occupy the position of fluoride ions while the anions with bigger size occupy
the positions of calcium ions.
(c) Sodium oxide (Na2O) is an example of antifluorite structure.
(d) The oxide ions (O2) have ccp arrangement and Na+ ions occupy the tetrahedral voids.

by Na+ ions.
(f) Each Na+ ion is surrounded by four O2 ions and each O2 ions is surrounded by eight Na+ ions. The
C.N. is 4 : 8.
(g) There are several oxides and sulphides of the metals with antifluorite structure e.g. Li2O, K2O,
Rb2O and Rb2S.
EFFECT OF PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE ON CRYSTAL

STRUCTURE
At ordinary temperature and pressure, chlorides, bromide and iodides of alkali metals lithium, sodium,
potassium and rubidium and halides of silver have NaCl type structure with 6 : 6 co-ordination.
NaCl structure transform to CsCl structure at high pressure in which the ions are in the ratio 8 : 8.
When high temperature of 760 K is applied on cesium chloride (CsCl), with co-ordination of 8 : 8, it
changes sodium to chloride with co-ordination of 6 : 6.
BRAGGS LAW
When X-rays are incident on a crystal face, they penetrate into the crystal and strike the atoms in
different planes. From each of these planes, X-rays are deflected. Bragg presented a relationship between
the wavelength of the X-rays and the distance between the planes, such as
n = 2d sin
where n is an integer such as, 1, 2, 3, ..., is the wavelength, d is the distance between repeating planes
of particles and the angle of deflection or glancing angle. Two parallel layers of the crystals are shown
with the help of horizontal lines separated from each other by distance d. Two waves comprising X-rays
that are in plane strike against the crystal and after reflection emerge from the crystal.

C
Fig. X-ray diffraction by regularly spaced constituents in a crystal
Further, the wave emerging along path AE is ahead of the wave that follows the path CD. The difference
in the distance travelled by the two rays after reflection also called path difference is :
Path difference = BC + CD = AC sin + AC sin = 2d sin
This must be an integral multiple of wave length i.e. n . Therefore.
n = 2d sin
(Bragg Equation)
EXAMPLES : 12
X-rays of wavelength 1.54 strike a crystal and are observed to be deflected at an angle of 22.5A.

CLOSEST PACKING
In crystals the atoms, ions or molecules are arranged in a
regular way in a three-dimensional space. The arrangement
has minimum energy and hence maximum stability. For
maximum stability, a constituent in the aggregate must be
surrounded by the maximum number of neighbours. For
maximum number of contacts, each constituent of the
crystal must be packed as closely as possible. In a twodimensional plane the closest arrangement being that in
which each sphere is in contact with six other spheres.
This layer
is denoted by A.
To obtain the closest packing in space, the spheres are
placed over the layer obtain the closest packing in space,
the spheres are placed over the layer A in a regular manner.
There are six vacant sites or triangular pockets around
any sphere in layer A. In fig around a sphere X these sites
are labelled as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. We can place only three
spheres touching each other in alternate vacant sites, e.g.
either in 1, 3 and 5 or in 2, 4 and 6.
Suppose the second layer is constructed by placing the
spheres in the vacant sites labelled as 1, 3 and 5 then the
sites marked 2, 4 and 6 are left unoccupied. This layer is
denoted by B.
The second layer again has two types of vacant sites.
Around any atom in the second layer, one set of vacant
sites lies just above the vacant sites 2, 4 and 6 of the first
layer and the other set lies above

the centres of the spheres of the first layer. Thus after the second layer is complete, there are two
different ways of placing the spheres in the third layer. If the spheres in the third layer are placed in the
vacant sites which are above the centres of the spheres of the first layer, then the third layer repeats the
arrangement of the first layer and we have only two types of layers, viz., ABAB .... etc. This is called a
hexagonal closest packing, hcp. fig (a) On the other hand, if the spheres are placed in the vacant sites
above 2, 4 and 6, a new arrangement (C) of the spheres in produced. Fig (b) The entire arrangement is
now of the type ABCABC ........... etc., and is referred to as a cubical closest packing, ccp or face
centred cubical closest packing, fcc.
The number of nearest neighbours (known as the coordination number) in each arrangement is twelve;
six in the same layer three in the layer above and three in the layer below it.
In the fcc structure, there are two types of vacant sites or holes : tetrahedral and octahedral. A tetrahedral
hole is surrounded by four spheres while an octahedral hole is the empty space surrounded by six spheres.
These vacant sites can accommodate other smaller atoms or molecules giving rise to a variety of different
structures.
(a)
(b)
Fig. (a) Tetrahedral holes and (b) Octahedral holes in an fcc structure
In an fcc structure, there are eight tetrahedral holes per unit cell as shown in fig.(a) The number of
octahedral holes in the unit cell of the fcc structure is four as can be deduced from the following
considerations. In fig(b) each (X) mark represent a vacant site and there are twelve such vacant sites at
the edges of unit cubic lattice. The vacancy at an edge is common to four unit cells and hence the number
12
= 3 . In addition to these vacancies there is one octahedral hole at
of such vacant sites per unit cell is
4
the centre of the unit cell. Thus the total number of octahedral holes per unit cell is four.
Fig. Body centered cubical close-packed structure
Another less packed arrangement of spheres is the body centered cubic arrangement as shown in figure
above in which each sphere has eight nearest neighbours; four in the same plane, two above and two
below it in the adjacent layers. Since the coordination number in fcc or hcp structure is greater than that
in the bcc structures, the latter are therefore less denser.
PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS
There are three main types of properties.
1. ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES
Based on their conductivity, solids can be divided into three categories :
19
NARAYANA
(i) Conductors
(ii) Insulators
(iii) Semi-conductors
(i)
Conductors : The solids through which electricity can flow to a large extent are called conductors.
They are either metallic conductors or electrolytic conductors. In the metallic conductors, the flow
of electricity is due to flow of electrons (electronic conductors) without any chemical change occurring
in the metal. While in electrolytic conductors like NaCl, KCl etc, the flow of electricity takes place
to a good extent only when they are taken in the molten state or in aqueous solution. The flow of
electricity is due to flow of ions.
(ii) Insulators: The solids which almost do not allow the electricity to pass through them are called
insulators e.g. S, P, plastics, wood, rubber etc.
(iii) Semi-conductors : The solids whose conductivity lies between those of metallic conductors and
insulators are called semi-conductors. The electrical conductivity of semi-conductors and insulators
is due to the presence of impurities and defects. Their conductivity increases with increase of
temperature as the defects (such as holes) increase with increase of temperature.
(a) Pure substances that show conductivity similar to that of silicon and germanium are called
intrinsic semiconductors.
(b) Electrical conductivity of semiconductors increases with increase of temperature because
with increase of temperature, large number of electrons can jump from valence band to
conduction band.
(c) Electrical conductivity of silicon and germanium is very low at room temperature. It can be
increased by doping with elements of Group 15 or Group 13.
(d) Similar to combination of Group 14 elements with those of Group 15 or Group 13, semiconductors
have been prepared by combination of elements of Group 13 and 15 (e.g. InSb, AlP and GaAs)
or Group 12 and 16 (e.g. ZnS, CdS, CdSe and HgTe)
(e) n- and p-type semiconductors are combined suitably to form a number of electronic components.
2. MAGNETIC PROPERTIES
Solids are divided into following categories on the basis of magnetic properties.
(i)
Diamagnetic substances : Substances which are weakly repelled by the external magnetic field
are called diamagnetic substances e.g. TiO2, NaCl, benzene etc. The property thus exhibited is
called diamagnetism. This property is shown only by those substances which contain fully filled
orbitals i.e. no unpaired electron is present.
(ii) Paramagnetic substances : Substances which are attracted by the external magnetic field are
called paramagnetic substances. The property thus exhibited is called paramagnetism. This property
is shown by those substances whose atoms, ions or molecules contain unpaired electrons e.g. O2,
Cu2+, Fe3+ etc. These substances, however, lose their magnetism in the absence of the magnetic
field.
(iii) Ferromagnetic substances : Substances which show permanent magnetism even in the absence
of the magnetic field are called ferromagnetic substances, e.g. Fe, Ni, Co, CrO2 show ferromagnetism.
Such substances remain permanently magnetised, once they have been magnetised. This type of
magnetism arises due to spontaneous alignment of magnetic moments due to unpaired electrons in
the same direction, as shown in fig.(a)
20
NARAYANA
(a) Ferromagnetism
(b) Anti-ferromagnetism
(c) Ferrimagnetism
(iv) Anti-Ferromagnetic substances : Substances which are expected to possess paramagnetism or
ferromagnetism on the basis of unpaired electrons but actually they possess zero net magnetic
moment are called anti-ferromagnetic substances, e.g. MnO. Antiferromagnetism is due to the
presence of equal number of magnetic moments in the opposite directions as shown in fig.(b)
(v) Ferrimagnetic Substances : Substances which are expected to possess large magnetism on the
basis of the unpaired electrons but acutally have small net magnetic moment are called ferrimagnetic
substances e.g. Fe3O4, ferrites of the formula M2+ Fe2O4 where M = Mg, Cu, Zn etc. Ferrimagnetism
arises due to the unequal number of magnetic moments in opposite direction resulting in some net
magnetic moment, as shown in fig(c). Each ferromagnetic substance has a characteristic temperature
above which no ferromagnetism is observed. This is known as curie temperature.
3. DIELECTRIC PROPERTY
(i)
Piezoelectricity or Pressure electricity : Electricity is produced due to displacement of ions,

when mechanical stress is applied on such crystal. The electricity thus produced is called
piezoelectricity and the crystals are called piezoelectric crystals.

Fig. Production of electricity on applying mechanical stress on piezoelectric crystals
A few examples of piezoelectric crystals include titanates of barium and lead, lead zirconate (PbZrO3),
ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (NH4H2PO4) and quartz. These crystals are used as pick-ups in
record players where they produce electrical signals by application of pressure. They are also used
in microphones, ultrasonic generators and sonar detectors.
(ii) Pyroelectricity : Some piezoelectric crystals when heated produce a small electric current. The
electricity thus produced is called pyroelectricity (pyre means heat).
(iii) Ferroelectricity : In some of the piezoelectric crystals, the dipoles are permanently polarized even
in the absence of the electric field. However on applying electric field, the direction of polarization
changes. This phenomenon is called ferroelectricity due to analogy with ferromagnetism. Some
examples of the ferroelectric solids are barium titanate (BaTiO3), sodium potassium tartarate (Rochelle
salt) and potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4). It may be pointed out here that all ferroelectric
solids are piezoelectric but the reverse is not true.
21
NARAYANA
(iv) Anti-ferroelectricity : In some crystals, the dipoles align themselves in such a way that alternately,
they point up and down so that the crystal does not possess any net dipole moment. Such crystals
are said to be anti-ferroelectric. A typical example of such crystals is lead zirconate (PbZrO3).
METAL SILICATES
Metal silicates have wide range of structures ranging from simple monomers to complex polymers,
however, the basic unit of all the silicate ions is tetrahedron nature. These tetrahedral occur singly, or by
sharing oxygen atoms in small groups, in small cyclic groups, in infinite chains or infinite sheets giving
various structures.
1.
Simple orthosilicates : In these silicates SiO44 tetrahedra do not share oxygen atoms with one
another and exist as discrete SiO44 orthosilicate anions e.g. Mg2SiO4, Fe2SiO4 and Zn2SiO4. In all
these compounds SiO44 ion is linked to M2+ ions through co-ordinate bond. [See Fig. (a)]
2.
Pyrosilicates or islands : In these two SiO44 tetrahedral share a common oxygen, island structures
having formula (Si2O7)6 e.g. Pyrosilicates. [See Fig. (b)]
3.
Ring or cyclic silicate anions : Ring anions are obtained when two oxygen atoms of each
tetrahedron are shared with others. (Si3O9)6 and (Si6O18)12. General formula of any such anion
must be (SinO3n)2n. [See Fig. (c)&(d)]
(a) SiO4
(b) (Si2O 7)
(c)
(Si3O9)
(d) (Si6O18)
12
(e) (SiO3 ) n chain

2
(f) (Si2O 5 )n layer

22
NARAYANA
4.
Infinite chain silicates : These are of two types the pyroxenes which contain single strand chains
of composition (SiO32)n and amphiboles which contain double strand cross-linked chains of composition
(Si4O116)n. General formula of the anion in a pyroxene is the same as in a silicate with cyclic anion
e.g. Diopside (MgCaSi2O6). Various asbestos minerals are examples of chain silicates (amphiboles).
5.
Infinite sheet Silicates : When three oxygen atoms of each SiO4 tetrahedron are shared, the two
dimensional sheet structures with general formula of (Si2 O 5 2 ) n are obtained e.g. clay.
[See Fig. (e)]
6.
Framework silicate : Three dimensional network is obtained when all the four oxygen atoms of
each of SiO4 tetrahedron are shared. e.g. Quartz and zeolites. The general formula of framework
silicate is SiO2. [See Fig. (f)]
