What kind of crystalline solid is a copper?

Answer 1

Metallic solid

Answer 2

The crystal structure of copper is called the "face centered cubic", or for short, "fcc" structure. It is based on one of the 14 Bravais lattices. Each copper atom has 12 nearest neighbors. Silver and gold also have fcc crystal structures and are "isostructural" with copper. The crystal structure of copper is called the "face centered cubic", or for short, "fcc" structure.

Answer 3

1. Copper (II) chloride: CuCl2

2. Copper (I) chloride: CuCl

quasi-verbose:

If Copper is in the second oxidation state,

this is called Cupric Cholride

CuCl2 structure is similar to cadmium iodine in respect to having twice the number of anions to cations. Antibonding caused by localization of one d-electron into a molecular orbit contributes to its imperfect octhedral shape. It can be envisioned as Cu(II) center surrounded by two water ligands and four chlorine ligands. This arrangement repeated works out asymetricaly with chlorine linking to other Cu centers

If Copper is in the first oxidation state,

this is called Cupous Chloride

CuCl structure is whats refered to as "Diamondoid"

This is due to its tendency to form tetrahedral complexes

A zincblende structure, it is like salt, forming face-centered cubic lattices.

Answer 4

If you think to electron configuration: [Ar]3d104s1.

Answer 5
