Chapter 9, Problem 30Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A structure for Silicon carbide – SiC has to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
Silicon belongs to group 4A elements. Silicon carbide was discovered by Dr. Edward Goodrich Acheson. It was the first man made abrasive and known to be very hard substance. It has high melting point and acts as thermal insulator.
