Ceramics
Ceramic StructuresMIXTURES OF ELEMENTSTwo Criteria for ceramic structures
1. Electrical Neutrality using ionic chargecation (positive charge) must equal anion(negative charge) amounts.Eg NaCl Na one positive, Cl one negative
2. Cations (+ve) – usually smaller, contact Anions (-ve) in structure. Determines the coordination number of the structure forceramics. Within certain ranges onlyparticular coordination numbers willaccommodate the different sized ionscontacting each other.
AX Ionic Structures
NaCl structure CN 6 CsCl structure CN 8 ZnS structure CN 4
All these have a 1 to 1 cation to anion ratio, but different coordination numbers.
