Introduction Unit cell of packing efficiency is referred to the development of the particles of constituents of any specific structure or cell with the presence of void spaces between the atoms. The matter of packing cells is obtained with any specific volume that occupied by the particles that are constituent with the total volume of cells. Packing of the unit cell efficiency is often described with a percentage value. Information regarding Unit Cell Packing Efficiency A unit cell is described as a structure having three dimensions and constructed by one or more atoms. Additionally, the 3D object is used ...

Introduction BCC stands for Body-Centered cubic unit cell, while FCC stands for Face-centered Cubic unit cell. These are types of atom arrangements. In BCC, the structure consists of various atoms arranged or packed in a cubic lattice where each or every single corner or edge of the cube/cubic shares a single atom with the atom in the centre. So, the atoms at the corners or edges are shared with eight different unit cells. And in FCC, atoms are present at every corner of the cube and also at the centre of every six faces of the cubic crystal. So, the ... Read More

Introduction The atoms/molecules in a solid crystalline substance are grouped uniformly and periodically over all three dimensions. Crystal structure refers to the atomic arrangement of a crystal. To make crystal symmetries easier to understand, a unit of atom (a single atom or a group of atom) that repeat in three dimensions in the crystal can be represented as a unit. The resultant points in space are called space lattice if each such atom or unit of atoms in a crystal is substituted by a point in space. A lattice point is a point in a space lattice, and a basis ... Read More

Introduction An approach for evaluating reaction energy is the Born–Haber cycle. It was created in 1919 by two German chemists, Fritz Haber and Max Born, and named after them. It clarifies and aids in the understanding of how ionic compounds are formed. Because lattice energy can't be measured directly, it's mostly utilised to compute it. The Born-Haber cycle is a method of applying Hess's Law to the usual enthalpy changes that occur during the formation of an ionic molecule. The enthalpy change is a thermodynamic quantity that describes the lattice energy of ionic compounds. Factors Affecting Lattice Energy The lattice ... Read More
