1 CHAPTER 2: ATOMIC ARRANGEMENTS AND MINERALOGICAL STRUCTURES Sarah Lambart

2 RECAP CHAP. 1 Mineral: naturally occurring (always) a structure and a composition that give it defined macroscopic properties (always) inorganic (always) Solid (most of the time) crystalline solid (most of the time) Homogeneous (most of the time)

3 RECAP CHAP. 1 Mineral occurrences: Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary Classification (based on the dominant anion): - sulfates - oxides - native - silicates - phosphates - hydroxides - sulfides - borates - carbonates - halides Silicate classification: (based on polymerization) - orthosilicates - sorosilicates - cyclosilicates - chain silicates - sheet silicates - Framework silicates

4 RECAP CHAP. 1 Physical properties: - Habit: euhedral, subhedral, anhedral - Morphology: granular, tabular, prismatic - Transparency: transparent, translucent, opaque - Luster, Metallic, submetallic, adamantine, resinous, vitreous, earthy - Color - Streak: color of powder on a porcelain plate - Tenacity: brittle, sectile, ductile - Cleavage and fractures - Density in g/cm 3 or specific gravity (Wa/(Wa-Ww)) - Hardness: Moh s scale: talc<gypsum<calcite<fluorite<apatite<orthoclase< quartz< topaz< corundum< diamond - Others: taste, acid test, electric conductivity, radioactivity, magnetism, fluorescence, pleochroism

15 ccp or fcc (Cubic close-packed) Rotating view toward top view Notice that every face of the cube has an atom at every face center face-centered cubic (fcc)

16 ccp or fcc (Cubic close-packed) Rotating view toward top view Notice that every face of the cube has an atom at every face center face-centered cubic (fcc)

17 IONIC RADIUS AND COORDINATION Anions and cations have different sizes and valences, and both will defined the way that they pack. 1Å = m

18 Definition: The coordination number or CN is the number of closest neighbors of opposite charge around an ion. It can range from 2 to 12 in ionic structures. These structures are called coordination polyhedron. Halite Cl Na Cl Cl Cl

19 An ideal close-packing of sphere for a given CN, can only be achieved for a specific ratio of ionic radii between the anions and the cations.

20 Rx/Rz = IR cation/ IR anion. Rx/Rz C.N. Type Cubic Hexagonal or Cubic Closest Packing Octahedral Tetrahedral (ex.: SiO 4 4- ) Triangular < Linear

21 Rx/Rz = IR cation/ IR anion. Rx/Rz C.N. Type Cubic Hexagonal or Cubic Closest Packing Octahedral Tetrahedral (ex.: SiO 4 4- ) Triangular < Linear Cat ion C.N. (with Oxygen) Coord. Polyhedron Ionic Radius, Å K cubic to closest 1.51 (8) (12) Na cubic to 1.18 (8) (6) Ca octahedral 1.12 (8) (6) Mn Fe Mg Octahedral Fe Ti Al Al Si Tetrahedral P S C +4 3 Triangular 0.08

22 PAULING S RULES Rule #1: Around every cation, a coordination polyhedron of anions forms, in which the cation-anion distance is determined by the radius sums, and the coordination number is determined by the radius ratio. Linus Pauling

23 Rule #2: The Electrostatic Valency (e.v.) Principle The strength of an ionic (electrostatic) bond (electrostatic valency e.v.) between a cation and an anion is equal to the charge of the ion (z) divided by its coordination number (n): e.v. = z/cn In a stable (neutral) structure, a charge balance results between the cation and its polyhedral anions with which it is bonded. Example: Halite (NaCl), Na + has CN=6 and z=+1 each Cl- contributes a charge of -1/6 to the Na + 6 x -1/6 = -1 vs. z(na)=+1 NEUTRALITY IS ACHIEVED

24 Formation of anionic groups If electronegativity of anion and cation differs by 2.0 or more, the group will be ionic Carbonate Sulfate C has valence (+4); C.N = 3 e.v.= 4/3 Charge remaining on each O: (-2)+(4/3) Charge total: 3*(-2/3)=(-2) S has valence (+6), C.N = 4 e.v.= 3/2 Charge remaining on each O: (-2)+(3/2) Charge total: 4*(-1/2)=(-2)

25 Rule #3: Shared edges, and particularly faces of two anion polyhedra in a crystal structure decreases its stability. Rule #4: In a crystal structure containing several cations, those of high valency and small coordination number tend not to share polyhedral elements. Rules 1 to 4 maximize the cation - anion attractions and minimize the anion-anion and cation-cation repulsions.

26 Rule #3: Shared edges, and particularly faces of two anion polyhedra in a crystal structure decreases its stability. Rule #4: In a crystal structure containing several cations, those of high valency and small coordination number tend not to share polyhedral elements. Rules 1 to 4 maximize the cation - anion attractions and minimize the anion-anion and cation-cation repulsions. Rule #5: The principle of parsimony The number of different kinds of constituents in a crystal tends to be small.
