Question
Silicon dioxide unit cell may be envisioned by taking our silicon lattice and replacing each Si-Si linkage by Si-O-Si bridges. In this lattice how many silicons are in each unit cell? How many oxygen are in each unit cell? What is the coordination number of each oxygen ? Silicon dioxide unit cell may be envisioned by taking our silicon lattice and replacing each Si-Si linkage by Si-O-Si bridges. In this lattice how many silicons are in each unit cell? How many oxygen are in each unit cell? What is the coordination number of each oxygen ?Explanation / Answer
Silicons are one(1) , oxygen are one(1) and coordination number of each oxygen is two(2)
