RECENTLY, with the increase of the resolving power of the electron microscope, it has become possible to make a direct observation of a crystal lattice composed of large molecules. J. W.
Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...
The crystal has a lattice parameter of 0.541 nm. The crystal structure is also known as diamond cubic and may be thought of as two interpenetrating fcc lattices, one for sulphur the other for zinc, ...
