Question
A portion of a two-dimensional “slab” of NaCl(s) is shown
here (see Figure 8.2) in which the ions are numbered.
(a) Which colored balls must represent sodium ions?
(b) Which colored balls must represent chloride ions?
(c) Consider ion 5. How many attractive electrostatic interactions
are shown for it? (d) Consider ion 5. How many
repulsive interactions are shown for it? (e) Is the sum of the attractive
interactions in part (c) larger or smaller than the sum
of the repulsive interactions in part (d)? (f) If this pattern of
ions was extended indefinitely in two dimensions, would the
lattice energy be positive or negative? [Section 8.2]
