Example of Lattice which is not distributive?
The diamond lattice M3.
The lattice parameter of SiC is 4.36 and that of diamond is 3.57 is this difference large or small?
Large. Consider that the lattice parameter for C only changes about 0.2% from 300 to 1000 K.
Is the lattice arrangement of diamond more complex than of carbon?
yes lattice arrangement of diamond more complex then carbon.
How many covalent bonds are in a diamond lattice?
4
What are primitive vectors of diamond?
You can read more about the lattice structure of the mineral diamond, below.
Type of bond present in a diamond?
According to Wikipedia:"A diamond is a transparent crystal of tetrahedrally-bonded carbon atoms in a covalent network lattice that crystallizes into the diamond lattice which is a variation of the face centered cubic structure."
What factors affect lattice energy?
Ionic Charge and Ionic Radius - the smaller the radius the greater the lattice energy
What is an adamantane?
An adamantane is a polycyclic hydrocarbon with a cagelike structure similar to a portion of a diamond lattice.
How are the carbon atoms arranged in graphite?
The atoms are bonded together in a rigid network which makes diamond very hard. Each carbon atom forms 4 covalent bonds
What is a lattice is giant covalent bonding?
In giant molecules such as diamond, silon dioxide, the atoms are all regularly positioned and form a lattice. In this respect they are similar to ionic compounds.
What is built using a framework or lattice?
A framework or lattice is the structure of crystalline materials. For example, a diamond is a lattice covalent bonded and highly organized carbon atoms lending to its super strength. Similarly salt has lattice pattern, but in this case it is from ionic attraction. Nevertheless the lattice in salt gives it the strength to have an intensely high melting point.
Which one is hardest metal diamond or aluminium or silver or platinum?
Diamond is the hardest substance known - but it is not a metal it is an arrangement of carbon atoms in a lattice.
