Ionic bindingA crystal has the crystal structure of NaCl but the positive ions have a charge of +2e and the negative ions have a charge of -2e. The repulsive part of the bond potential is described by the same parameters as for NaCl: ρ = 0.321 Å, zλ = 1.05×10-8 erg. (a) What is the expression for the total energy? (b) Calculate the equilibrium distance to the nearest neighbors. (c) Calculate the effective spring constant of a single bond. |
