The coordination number is simply the number of nearest neighbours of an atom/ion. Look at or draw a cube, you will see it has 6 faces or sides. If the neighbours are arranged like a cube around the central atom/ion, there are 6 nearest neighbours just as there are 6 faces: 4 around the body of the cube, 1 above and 1 below.

What is the coordination number of each type of ions in a rock salt type crystal structure?
Six. Explanation: Rock salt (NaCl) is ionic crystalline compound having Na+ and Cl- ions. Each Na+ is surrounded by 6 Cl- ions and vice versa. Coordination number for an ion is the number of oppositely charged ions around it. So it is 6.
What is Cubic feet of 6 yards?
The question can not be answered. You would have to specify 6 cubic yards. How many cubic feet are in a cubic yard? Multiply that by the number of cubic yards. You must know how many cubic feet are in a cubic yard, right?
How many milliliters are equal to cubic meters?
1 cubic meter = 1000 liter = 10 6 cubic centimeter1 liter = 1000 milliliter1 cubic meter = 10 6 milliliter
If you have an isotope of the element carbon that has the mass number of 14 what other information would help you determine the number of neutron?
Mass number is simple the #(number) of protons plus # of neutrons. Looking at the periodic table we can see that carbon contains 6 protons. Therefor we simple subtract 6 from 14, that is, 14 - 6 = 8 There are 8 neutrons in this isotope.
How many cubic yards in 6 acers of land 3 feet deep?
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet1 acre = 43,560 square feetVolume = (6 x 43,560) x (3) = 784,080 cubic feet = 29,040 cubic yards
Coordination number in Bcc and simple cubic?
coordination number in bcc is 8 coordination number in simple cubic is 6
What is the coordination number of zns?
6
What is the next cubic number after 125?
It is: 6*6*6 = 216
How many cubic centimeters are in 6 cubic meters?
Knowing that there are 1,000,000 cubic centimeters in 1 cubic meter, then multiply that by the number of cubic meters (6), you end up with 6,000,000 cubic centimeters.
What is the lowest and highest number of shared and unshared atoms in a unit cell of a FCC structure and a simple cubic structure?
Your question, if I understand it correctly, asks to explain the reasoning behind the coordination number, or number of adjacent atoms, of an atom in a simple cubic structure versus an atom in a face centered cubic structure (FCC).Before we proceed, I would like to clarify one thing:A unit cell of a simple cubic crystal has 1 atom, while a unit cell of FCC crystal has 4 atoms. This may be a little counterintuitive at first, but consider how the atoms are shared. For the simple cubic structure, there are eight individual atoms - one at each corner of the cube. The unit cell, however, has to share each atom with the 8 other adjacent cells. Thus a unit cell gets 8 atoms only 1/8 of the time, hence 8*(1/8) = 1 atom per simple cubic unit cell. Similarly, FCC has the 1 atom from simple cubic, plus half of the 6 atoms on each of it's faces. Thus, FCC has 4 atoms per unit cell.On to the main question. In short, given a homogeneous, perfect crystal the coordination numbers of all the atoms are the same. All atoms are shared equal with their neighbors.For the simple cubic case this is easy to see. Like the simple gumdrop creations of second graders, you can start at any gumdrop to make the creation. Any corner is the same relative to its neighbors as any other corner. For FCC the same is true.

How many cubic feet is a 8 feet by 6 feet and 8 high room?
384 cubic feet. Its simple math.
What is the coordination number of NaCl?
The is no atomic number for NaCl (sodium chloride) as it is a compound and atomic nuber applies to elements. NaCl is made of the two elements sodium and chlorine. Sodium's atomic number is 11. Chlorine's atomic number is 17.
What is the structural formula of sodium bromide?
Sodium bromide is an ionic solid consisting of a 1:1 ratio of Na+ and Br- ions arranged in a cubic lattice. The coordination number is 6 , which means each sodium ion is surrounded by 6 bromine ions and each bromine ion is surrounded by 6 sodium ions. [Na]+ [Br]-
Why is the coordination number of be 4 and that of mg 6?
Be is smaller than Mg. The "coordination number" depends on the relative sizes of the central atom and the ones that are linked (chemists call them ligands) as to how many you can get. For the a give ligand the bigger the Central atom or ion the greater the number you can get round it.
What is Cubic feet of 6 yards?
The question can not be answered. You would have to specify 6 cubic yards. How many cubic feet are in a cubic yard? Multiply that by the number of cubic yards. You must know how many cubic feet are in a cubic yard, right?
How many cubic feet is 6 feet by 8 feet by 2 feet?
That would be 96 cubic feet. (6 X 8 = 48, and then 48 X 2 = 96 cubic feet) DON'T FORGET to put CUBIC FEET after the number!
