(a)
Interpretation:
The band diagram for calcium when
Concept introduction:
Bands are continuum of energy levels. The bands are of two types: valence band and conduction band.
Valence band is the band that holds valence electrons and conduction band is the band which is slightly higher in energy than valence band. On the basis of band theory, a partly filled band shows conduction and fully filled band doesn’t show conduction.

- Structure of the Bis-( dimethylglyoximato) nickel(II) ( write the C.N , geometry type):arrow_forwardite form of iron has fcc crystal lattice structure,whereas its alpha form has bcc crystal lattice structure. Assuming closest packed arrangement of iron atoms, what will be the ratio of density of Austenite to that of alpha iron?arrow_forwardSeveral transition metals are prepared by reduction of themetal halide with magnesium. Titanium is prepared by the Krollmethod, in which ore (ilmenite) is converted to the gaseous chlo-ride, which is then reduced to Ti metal by molten Mg. Assuming yields of 84% for step 1 and 93% for step 2,and an excess of the other reactants, what mass of Ti metal canbe prepared from 21.5 metric tons of ilmenite?arrow_forward
- Phosphorus (P) is present in a germanium (Ge) sample. Assume that one of its five valence electrons revolves in a Bohr orbit around each P+ ion in the Ge lattice. (a) If the effective mass of the electron is 0.17 me and the dielectric constant of Ge is 16, find the radius of the first Bohr orbit of the electron. (b) Ge has a band gap (Eg) of 0.65 eV. How does the ionization energy of the above electron comparing to Eg and kBT at room temperature?arrow_forwardA slag sample is known to contain all of its iron in the forms of FeO and Fe2O3. A sample of 1,000 g of the slag was dissolved in hydrochloric acid according to the usual method, then reduced with stannous chloride and finally titrated with a 0.02237 M solution of potassium permanganate, of which 28.59 mL were used. A second aliquot of the slag sample, weighing 1,500, was dissolved in a nitrogen atmosphere to further adjust the oxidation state of the iron, it was immediately titrated with the same potassium permanganate solution. If this second experiment required 15.60 mL of permanganate solution, calculate: a) The percentage of total iron in the slag. b) The percentages of the oxide FeO and Fe2O3arrow_forwardThe most important oxides of iron are magnetite, Fe3O4, and hematite, Fe2O3. One of these iron oxides is ferrimagnetic, and the other is antiferromagnetic. Which iron oxide is more likely to be ferrimagnetic? Explain.arrow_forward
- 2. Answer ALL parts a) - c). Sodium ([Ne] 3s¹3pº) forms a simple cubic (sc) primitive crystal structure, in which Na atoms are arranged at the corners of a cube. a) How many atoms are contained in the unit cell, and how many valence bands can be expected? b) Sketch the crystal orbitals at the special points ï'(0,0,0), X(1/2,1/2,0), and M(1/2,1/2,1/2), and hence draw the corresponding band structure along T-X-M-T. c) With the aid of a diagram, explain how the band structure would change if the cube was distorted into a rhombohedron by elongation along a body diagonal?arrow_forwardSilica (SiO2) is an impurity that must be removed from ametal oxide or sulfide ore when the ore is being reduced toelemental metal. To do this, lime (CaO) is added. It reactswith the silica to form a slag of calcium silicate (CaSiO3),which can be separated and removed from the ore.(a) Write the balanced equation for this process.(b) Can this be considered a Lewis acid–base reaction? Ifso, what is the Lewis acid and what is the Lewis base?arrow_forward
